In a waste-conscious move, the crocodile was “prepared for a feast in the traditional manner,” police said, but not before authorities took the opportunity to give local children an impromptu “crocodile safety session,” including an “up-close look at the dangers within our waterways.” Speaking to public broadcaster ABC, Northern Territory Police Sergeant Andrew McBride said the animal was “cooked up into crocodile tail soup, he was on the barbecue, a few of the pieces were wrapped up in banana leaves and cooked underground.” “It was a rather large traditional feast and there were a few full bellies,” Sergeant McBride said.

Even if you love the genre, it's hard to say whether the world of the screwball comedy is a kind of paradise or simply a circle of hell. It is, to be sure, its own world – a parallel universe where stereotypes exist to be mocked, inhibitions are quickly overcome, and the usual laws of action and reaction take a circuitous, often improbable route. The fact is that screwball started in the wake of the Production Code, when there were things that could no longer be shown, so they were talked about instead, by the kinds of people who knew...

Doctors described a case of a rare infection called ocular pentastomiasis, which is caused by a parasite known to lay its eggs in snakes. A mass that had been growing in a woman's eye for two years turned out to be a parasite that sometimes passes from reptiles to humans, doctors say. The doctors flagged contaminated crocodile meat as a potential source of the rare infection, which may make it the first case of its kind in medical literature, they reported Thursday (April 11) in JAMA Ophthalmology. The report's authors diagnosed the woman with an infection called "ocular pentastomiasis," a...

CAIR lobby's racist-Arab islamic-fadcist Rashida Tlaib (D-Gaza/Ramallah) crocodile tears

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Ramallah) is fighting back using a strategy that Islamist spokesmen in the West have frequently favored over the years: she’s lying. This shouldn’t come as any surprise to anyone: in the book that those spokesmen and Tlaib consider to be holy, lying to infidels. Of course Tlaib knows that "From the river to the sea" means racist supremacist Arab Islamic ethnic cleansing of Jews. With those same fake tears this bigot repeated the bloodlibel when jihadiats killed their people in the al-Ahli Hispital on Oct/17 and blamed Israel for their crimes. Blubbering Rashida Tlaib Repeats Claim That...

Marcus McGowan, 51, of Queensland, was snorkeling off the Charles Hardy Islands with his wife and friends on Saturday when he felt what he initially thought was a shark, The Guardian reported. “I realized it was a crocodile. I was able to lever its jaws open just far enough to get my head out,” he said in a statement. “The crocodile then attempted to attack me a second time, but I managed to push it away with my right hand, which was then bitten. “I was able to escape the crocodile’s grip once again and swim to the safety of...

Children’s author threatened to strike if editors changed ‘a single comma’ of his writing and claimed ‘Marx and Lenin’ were responsible Roald Dahl threatened to never write another word if his publishers ever changed his language, promising to send his “Enormous Crocodile” to gobble them up if they did so. The writer’s fury at the prospect of publishers censoring his books has emerged in the wake of the row over Puffin altering several passages from his famous children’s stories. Dahl made his comments 40 years ago, in a recorded conversation with his friend Francis Bacon, the painter, in which he...

Crocodile Dundee star Paul Hogan has been spotted out and about for the first time in over a year as he ran errands in his crime and homeless-ridden Los Angeles neighborhood.

The last time Hogan, 82, was photographed in public was last May when he was thought to be pinning up an angry note to vagrants camped outside his $3.5million Venice mansion.
