    Wait… Are we sure those aren’t crocodiles?

    Sorry, alligators. Up way too early for any person.

      Given the usual St. Charlie approach of taking something and making it better (or at least more complicated) with science, I’m going to guess that they’re some sort of crocodile/alligator mix. Maybe with a pinch of caiman for good measure.

    Hey, wasn’t Sergio running away about now? Why’s he heading in the same direction as the mad ones?
    Oh no! He must be mad too!

      Not mad so much as canny. He can’t escape the zombie hordes on his own, and he can’t trust the signs to help him find an exit.

      He’s running away from Anasigma, not necessarily the rest of them

    See the signs that warn of crocodiles!
    Just another of our endless trials!
    We’ve been walking for what seems like miles …
    Crocs will chew on me!

    There’s a crocodile upon my head!
    Boy, you’re lucky I’m already dead!
    I’m a bit annoyed that no one said
    Crocs will chew on me!

     Soon this thing will be my handbag …
     Plus, some matching shoes I’ll snag,
     I brag …

    Chewing crocodiles are such a pain!
    One of many on this stupid train!
    I could use a bit of novocaine …
    Crocs will chew on me!

    “What’s that one?”
    “Ark of the Covenant.”
    “Are you sure?”
    “Pretty sure.”

      Indiana Jones, you’ve doomed us all! Why did you have to let the easily-stealable-from government have it?

        That’s okay. The real one’s still in Ethiopia, anyway.

    Unity, real crocodile is biting your ear.

    Crocodiles are one of the many species where the loose variety are less dangerous than the prudish variety.

        Unfortunately, it was “shadow alligator” a few weeks ago (http://skin-horse.com/2013/she-liked-people/) and not crocodile. A lost opportunity for parallel. Oh well.

    Wait, is that crocodile trying to hump Unity?

      Well, as I said above, it’s a loose crocodile. A prudish crocodile would have some restraint (but would likely be more ornery and pricklish).

        “Loose” is such a judgmental term. They prefer to be called “crocodiles with relaxed moral standards”.

    The Triple! It looks like GODOT has been taking writing lessons from Carl Reiner.

    There may be something to an earlier theory that G.O.D.O.T. might be using game theory against the teams. Using their own disbelief in everything they see to guide them into the worst areas. Even with Nick guiding them, that might hasten their destruction, or at least the comedy, by several factors.

      game theory drives my actions at work – I have FUN messing w/ their brains.

    Granted, the song that occurs to me is /not/ about crocodiles, but you may well derive some enjoyment from it anyway:

    You know, maybe they should shelve the idea of using Nick. GODOT is actually helping them!

      I thought it was a great example of crying wolf so that the real loose crocodiles would pose a threat. After not finding any crocodiles at the first two signs, who would expect them at the third?

        But… but… the previous day the modified sign also told the truth!

    They really need to re-fasten those crocodiles.
