Drawing a Scene - What I've Learned

What have I learned about my topic?  Contrary to popular belief, alligators don't really shoot lasers from their mouth!  Can you believe that?  Since this is text, you probably can't tell how sarcastic I'm trying to be here.  We haven't really started to research the educational stuff yet, but I expect we will be using Wikipedia and Google a lot when research starts.  In other news, our game is coming along smoothly so far.  Laser Gator will come to life soon...
