I was joking around with my family at lunch saying that since the iguana was the only animal left alive at the Lake Charles Children’s Museum it was obvious that the iguana burned down the building. How ridiculous and funny. An iguana burning down the children’s museum. Absurd! These are the types of things I like to blog about. Things that are just silly. I was searching Google News to find a news article about the fire and I find this…
“Fire damages LC Children’s Museum • 4/23/2009, 8:24 a.m. CDT • The Associated Press • LAKE CHARLES, La. (AP) — LAKE CHARLES, La. (AP) A fire has damaged the first floor of the Children’s Museum in downtown Lake Charles. Firefighters say police officer Kevin Hoover noticed flames coming from a window on the northwest side of the museum early Wednesday morning. Capt. Jeremy LeBlanc of the Lake Charles Fire Department said seven fire engines responded, and firefighters had the fire under control in about 12 minutes. He said they kept the two-alarm fire from spreading to the second floor and attic area. LeBlanc said the cause of the fire was a knocked-over heat lamp in a wooden iguana cage.“
I don’t know whether to be happy because my ridiculousness was actually true or angry because now my blog post I had planned is foiled due to “reality” or simply amazed that I called it. At any rate, the idea of an iguana perpetrating this is still funny.
Are they going to prosecute the iguana? If not, why not? The Children’s Museum is taking donations to aid in the rebuilding effort. Is the iguana a part of this? Have they paid the iguana to burn down the building with a portion of the donations they are collecting? Why was there not an exhibit at the museum showing the intellectual talents of this supernatural iguana? Were they keeping the little beast’s brain power a secret to lead detectives off the trail after the fire was orchestrated? A knocked-over heat lamp? This is Louisiana – it’s always hot! Geiko insurance has a gecko as a mascot and spokesman. Is it possible that this iguana, a double first cousin to the gecko, is somehow tied to the insurance industry thus making this a triple inside job?
Conspiracy? Probably. I never did trust reptiles. Remember the TV show “V”?
