It's good to laugh. In fact, it's about time we laughed more often. I don't mean a chuckle or a giggle. I mean REALLY laugh. Sometimes life requires an injection of humour. In the spirit of optimism and finding the ticklish side of life, I share this press release from the Ottawa Police. It's good to see even they can have some fun with strange incidents.
Police arrest iguana for impeding traffic
The Ottawa Police Service reports the following: On 25 July, at approx. 04:15 hrs, Ottawa Police responded to a complaint about a three foot iguana on the roadway in the area of Fisher at Malibu Terrace. Four officers worked together to corral the subject, using a makeshift lasso to effect a safe capture.
The identity of the iguana is yet to be confirmed. He is a colourful mix of green, yellow and brown. The iguana has been conveyed without incident to an interim iguana-friendly location pending a hopeful reunion with its family members (owners).
Anyone who has information on the identity of this iguana, or who is the rightful guardian, is asked to contact....
CBC picked up the story. If you check the right column, you'll find video too.

Really, what's so rare about a giant greenish lizard in Ottawa?
Perhaps that it wasn't found in its natural habitat (Parliament Hill, City Hall, Sussex Drive)...
