This "lost pet" notice was posted in my neighborhood, and a photo of
the flyer was posted in the photo archive of my neighborhood's email
list. Identifying information (phone number, etc.) whited out.

This probably wasn't funny to the people who posted this. And it
probably wouldn't have been funny to anyone who came across said
missing pet. But *I* find it funny.

Wow. How can you lose a komodo dragon? Is it legal to own one?

I don't know. But I also meant to say that this is an old flyer from
2005, so I assume the dragon has been found by now.

As if Lebanon didn't have enough problems...

According to a New Scientist article I once read, Komodo dragons have
specialized teeth with lots of pits and fissures. The reason for this
is so they can fill up with rotting meat - anything they bite will die
of gangrene or septicaemia before it gets very far away. Tyrannosaurus
Rex teeth were similar.

Or flew off, breathing fire? ;-) Wonder if that might be
what caused some of the forest and brushfires we've been
experiencing more-or-less world wide?

"NOt very friendly. Can be caught with treats". It is a little
humorous. I hope they found it!! They are actually pretty cool beasties.

Actually, it looked to me like it said, "Can be caught with cat treats."

Not very friendly - yeah, I guess not!

Nope. Not amusing to me, sorry. A lost pet is a lost pet.
