It's because the heat and humidity gives people delusions en masse

Humans weren't meant to wear tank tops in February, does something to the subconscious. Suddenly wrestling that alligator seems like a totally noncrazy pasttime

Excellent question on meta that needs more attention

Care to comment, @quid?

Sorry, @quid, I mean on the issue raised in the meta post I link above. I'm not concerned just about this one question which prompted the meta question, but I think the perception that this site is overloaded is valid: too many low quality questions getting too many low quality answers, and overloaded moderators trying to moderate an ineffective site, (not of their making), leaving lots of folks burnt out.
