  • Freitagnacht-Kryptos: Der Monster-Alligator
    Freitagnacht-Kryptos: Die Seeschlange(n) des Comer Sees Seit 1946 wird regelmäßig von einem Ungeheuer berichtet, das im malerischen Comer See in Italien lebt – Dutzende Sichtungen sind bereits registriert. Der Comer See bei Varenna, ausnahmsweise ohne Seeschlange Nun schien es fast so, als sei das Rätsel aufgeklärt: Am Ufer wurde eine Riesenschlange angeschwemmt. Wie die Zeitung „Provincia di Como“ am 3. September 2021 auf ihrer Homepage berichtet, wurde in Sorico, am nördlichen Seeende, ein vier Meter langer Python tot aufgefunden. Er lag am Ufer des Flusses Mera, der aus den Alpen kommend dort in den See mündet. Der Kadaver der Riesenschlange. Foto: La Provincia Ein (ungenannter) „sehr verängstigter“ deutscher Tourist habe das Tier entdeckt und sofort Alarm geschlagen. Er sei zuerst sehr erschrocken gewesen, habe dann aber festgestellt, dass sich das Tier nicht mehr bewegte. Er verständigte unmittelbar die Provinzpolizei. Als die Polizeipatrouille das Tier untersuchte, stellte sie fest, dass es definitiv tot war. Ein Sprecher der Polizei identifizierte die Riesenschlange als Python – ein Tier, das am oberen Comer See und dem nahen Naturreservat Pian di Spagna natürlich nicht vorkommt. Der Kadaver war vier Meter lang und maß etwa zwanzig Zentimeter im Durchmesser. Es müsse sich um ein ausgebüxte „Haustier“ handeln, mutmaßte die Polizei (bereits in den Vorjahren wurden Pythonkadaver im Gardasee angeschwemmt). „Es gibt spezielle Schlangenfarmen, allerdings nicht in der Provinz Como“, erklärte Marco Testa, der Kommandant der Provinzpolizei. „Eine gezüchtete Python ist eigentlich wenig gefährlich, sie kann sich aber an jede Art von Tier klammern, auch an große, die sie zerquetscht und dann auffrisst; das gleiche könnte natürlich auch einem Menschen passieren.“ Er nimmt an, dass die Python ihrem Halter entkommen sei und dann verhungerte, weil sie keine Nahrung fand.

Today we think nothing of travelling through space to the furthest edges of our solar system, building giant glass and steel skyscrapers that pierce the clouds, or communicating with people on the other side of the world in the blink of an eye using a smartphone no bigger than an iPod. We have harnessed the power of the wind, the sun and the atom to do our bidding, and our disposable razors increase their number of blades seemingly on a daily basis. Now a thrilling new chapter of Homo sapiens's inspirational story of progress opens with the release of Viz - The Jester's Shoes.

  • NEBRASKA's CENTENARIANS AGE 107 OR ABOVE — 1867 to 2001
    NEBRASKA’S CENTENARIANS AGE 107 OR ABOVE — 1867 to 2001 by E. A. Kral May 1, 2014 update of original published in The Crete News, April 24, 2002, a 40-page supplement Public Announcement for All Nebraskans Effective May 1, 2002, the Nebraska Health Care Association initiated two on-going public service projects on its website to highlight Nebraskans who reach age 107 or above. The NHCA website address is www.nehca.org. First, the NHCA has maintained a roster of living Nebraskans who have attained the age of 107 or above that provides name, birth date, and county in which the person resides. Second, the NHCA has made available access to this updated manuscript version of E. A. Kral’s “Nebraska’s Centenarians Age 107 or Above — 1867 to 2001” but without photographs. Moreover, it has also offered a brief on-going ranking of Nebraska’s supercentenarians in state history, and another document titled “Oldest Twins in Nebraska History.” Relatives, healthcare professionals, and others are asked to notify the NHCA when someone with Nebraska connections reaches age 107 for placement of name, birth date, and county of residence on the living roster. Since age verification may be necessary via census records involving the centenarian’s youth or early adult years, relatives may assist by providing names of parents and location of centenarian during 1900 to 1920. Also please notify the NHCA when the persons on the living roster become deceased so that the roster may be current. The NHCA website address is www.nehca.org and referrals for the living 107-year-old roster may be mailed to Nebraska Health Care Association, 1200 Libra Dr., Ste 100, Lincoln, NE 68512-9332.
