G Gordon Liddy tells the story of being in the tropics somewhere and the guide stopping and telling a group of people “get out of the river or you will get eaten”. They replied “we are from the Peace Corps.” Apparently the crocodiles were not impressed with their credentials.

The article originally came from British papers, and “washing his hands” is the polite British way of saying “taking a crap”.
So, Mr. Reporter probably was squatting facing away from the lake, when the crocodile suddenly saw his breakfast ...

“They recovered the body, so he wasn’t “eaten” as Faux News claims”
I’ve always heard they store their food under snags etc... for ripening.

As a ‘financial journalist ‘ I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. All other fake news journalists should schedule a ‘swim’ there.

Exactly. Crocs can’t chew, they crush and tear. Tenderized (rotten) meat is much easier to consume for them. Guess their tastebuds are nuke proof.

'taken by a crocodile'... Taken where? Gads...who writes this sh*t?
People with a firm grasp of the English language do.
To: IndispensableDestiny
What do you call a member of the media being eaten by a crocodile?
A Good Start!

I believe that is one standard use of the term to be “taken” in this context often involves wildlife ( “taken by a leopard”, “taken by a shark”, etc.)

The term is also used by hunters in accounting their harvests. “I took two rabbits and a pheasant”.

“No,” The croc said to buddies,”it did not taste like chicken. But it did taste a little queer”

Reporter for prestigious newspaper eaten by crocodile while relieving himself in lagoon Is the floor open to nominate other [so-called] journalists to go to the scene and "investigate"?

No, he went to a toilet which was near the water. I read the same thing initially. Poorly written article.

I withhold expressing my feelings and condolences until I learn if he worked for CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, NYT, or ESPN.
