Police in San Antonio were surprised to find a 2.4m alligator sitting across the pavement on April 29.
"I don't remember any of this in the academy," police Officer Albert Silva said of the traffic jam. "As far as I know, there's no [rule] on this other than: 'Don't get bit.'"
Even police car sirens couldn't scare the big reptile off the road. Police threw orange traffic cones at the alligator, but it just snapped at the cones and flung them away.

The alligator even attacked a police car, biting a chunk out of its bumper.
Officers finally used a lasso and metal poles to coax the alligator into a drainage ditch leading to a lake.
Texas State Game Warden David Chavez could not explain why an alligator would decide to sit on a busy highway.
"They keep to themselves,'' he said. "They don't go out looking for trouble.'' (AP)
聖安東尼奧警方四月二十九日驚異地發現，一隻二點四公尺長的鱷魚趴坐在人行道上。
「我想不起警校教過什麼應變之道，」亞伯特．席瓦警員談到鱷魚引起的大塞車說︰「就我所知，沒有比『小心被咬』更好的準則了。」
甚至連警車鳴笛都無法把這隻龐然的爬蟲類動物從路中嚇跑。警方朝鱷魚丟擲了好幾個橙色的交通椎，但鱷魚只是張口咬住，再猛然甩開。
這隻鱷魚甚至還攻擊警車，咬掉了一大塊保險桿。
警員最後利用一個套索與金屬竿，把鱷魚誘往連結湖泊的排水溝。
德州的狩獵監察官大衛．查維茲無法解釋這隻鱷魚為何要盤踞在繁忙公路上。
「牠們離群索居，」他說︰「不會出來自找麻煩。」 （美聯社?翻譯︰賴美君）
When people talk about fast delivery or logistics, most assume these are modern inventions. However, the need to convey messages and ship goods efficiently existed in ancient China. As early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the governments implemented official systems to deliver orders and military information across long distances. Later, this system, known as yizhan, reached its peak during the Tang period and remained crucial to Chinese society for centuries. The main function of a yizhan was to deploy documents and personnel quickly across vast regions. Messengers would stop at these stations to change horses or rest. Sometimes,

Soldiers lined the walls. Reporters looked up, pens suspended above their notebooks. The judges shifted. Cameras clicked once, then stopped. Outside, the sun blazed over the barracks yard. Inside, it was winter. The words rebellion and death penalty hung in the air like a storm cloud about to break. But this moment had not begun here. It began three months earlier, on a warm December evening. The traffic circle
