Croc Update: My Kind of Guy

Work is really a croc - Metro: "Cluttered with a wide variety of crocodile and alligator bones, his office is a miniature museum of sorts - almost to the point where it's sometimes hard to find things, he says. But without the skeletons, it seems that Chris Brochu's office would be an inaccurate representation of the man himself.

The guy's really into crocs and gators.

He used to keep a pet alligator in his office. He'd show the gator in his Age of Dinosaurs lectures here at the UI, where he is an associate professor of geoscience. But Wally got too big, so Brochu sent him to an alligator farm in Florida midway through the semester.

'I miss him, but I don't think he misses me,' he said, explaining that 'crocodilians have two emotions - indifferent and enraged.'"
