I need to know. I need to know, now! Alligator!

After some time here, and subliminal impressions made upon my reptilian brain pod, the frontal lobe has finally noticed that on every page, on the left, there is an Alligator at a Typewriter.

WTF is up with that?

It's not Joe or other founders as far as I know. It's a friggin Alligator, every page all day.

Who the hell uses a typewriter and wears a news hat from Citizen Cane?

Enquiring minds are enquiring.

I did not think mind control was integral to this website.

Well?

it's the aggregator.

it's an idea that i had well before this site was born. it was to be the column header for an rss feed aggregation area.

jtc, whose many talents extend to graphics production created the aggregator and when this site came to life, the aggregator had a home.

sleep well tonight, edmass.

@joe shikspack I can't sleep well.

There's an Alligator on every page.

Does Alligator Ed know? Do you pay him for appropriating his image?

Huh? Huh?

You can run. You can't hide.

@EdMass
We used to have an aggregator program that displayed RSS feeds from various sites. The 'aggre-gator" was it's mascot. We eventually had to disable the aggregator program because it ate too much of the site's resource.

When the site was revamped a few months ago the "gator' was going to be retired and returned to the swamp, but, after some users expressed an affection for the toothy critter, he was given a reprieve.

And, yeah, his name is Ed.

@JtC How scary was that? Did he traipse off this realm?

Hey! my dear friends or soon-to-be's, JtC could use the donations to keep this site functioning for those of us who can still see the life preserver or flotsam in the water.
