Gollum killed by Panamanian teenagers.

Postby Soratsin » Thu Sep 17, 2009 2:27 pm

Apparently, a creature bearing a resemblance to Gollum from The Lord of The Rings, emerged from a cave next to a lake in Panama and attacked some teens. The kids chucked some rocks at the beast and killed it.

Looks to me like someone killed and shaved a sloth.

Leave it to teenagers to put the body back in the water and let it been eaten by buzzards rather than bringing it to scientists for propper study. :palm:
"Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes" When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty -- to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy." - President Abraham Lincoln.

They started screaming as it shuffled out "as if to attack them".


The kids are jackasses. If it was shuffling during an attack they could have got out of it's way with a brisk walk.

I have a feeling that the "terrified" bit was put in by the parents so their kids aren't portrayed as cruel little bastards who stone stuff to death for kicks.

I second this. If something that looks like that is moving towards you and making weird noises, I'd hope you have the good sense to throw stuff at it until it dies.

Maybe they just knocked it out when they threw the rocks at it, then they threw it in the lake and drowned it.

I think it'd be more prudent to run away, just in case it isn't easily killed by rocks.
