Though alligator attacks have increased over the years due to a variety of factors, gators don’t typically approach humans because they don’t regard humans as prey. With that in mind, the woman believed someone has been feeding the gator, an incredibly dangerous—and illegal—act....

Ginsberg then continued to scoff at one of Trump’s lawyers who filed an election challenge in federal claims court on Thursday....

One of the most noticeable details is that the Fremen—the race of desert dwellers that includes Chani, played by Zendaya, and Stilgar (Javier Bardem)—all have bright blue eyes. This is briefly explained in the movie, but the books offer more far more information about this bizarre trait (which is still less weird than the fact that the Fremen wear suits that recycle their sweat into drinking water).
