"Sheeesh....week of croc attacks"

Its all that global warming making the crocs mad...

It's because of the poor Bush economy that the croc was forced to find a scavenging job in shallow waters....

"She made a joke about losing her watch, she said the alarm was set for five o'clock if you want to go after that crocodile," Mr Turner said

That cracked me up.

Good day for Aussies on FR!

Yes, and why didn't they shoot it right after the attack?

I assume there was no agent of the government in the vicinity, and if you are not an agent of the government, you are not allowed to possess a gun in Australia.

Ah. Thank you. I had forgotten that it was Oz.

Shades of Peter Pan ...

Do you think he has to check those things when he flys.... I'm sure the brass sets off alarms and I doubt they fit in the overhead.

They might just barely fit under the seat in front of him. The flight crew should be notified, however, since they will, of course, have to redo their weight and balance calculations.
