Aussie Croc eats chainsaw and chases man up a tree (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/4953668.stm)

No real reason for the huge title. Still that croc has a unbelievable appetite.

idiot... trying to be like the Croc Hunter

Damn crocodiles. Why can't they chew on their own damn chainsaws?

Moral: avoid australia.

No instead let's go to America, where they have rattle snakes and, bears and..... man eating beetles and, George Bush and, stuff...

Moral: avoid any first world country with ground forces in Iraq. Avoid all non-first world countries. Stay at home in bed.

Australia is horrible, Drunk Aborigenes try and kill you if you disturb them just because you want to look at Brisbanes City Centre war memorial.

I live the Northern Territory ... and those crocs are real. Oh, and the NT News loves crocs stories. The twin towers could fall, but a croc story will be placed on the front page instead.

I can understand that.

Actually, I think he was just trying to do his job.

The croc didn't like the noise of chainsaw when he was chopping up a tree. The tree was near the water's edge.

One thing in common with those two comments, trying both used trying.

Remember kids never try.
Never ever, it is the first step to failure.

Solution: send Bush to Australia and have him chewed out by a crocodile :D
The crocodile has a nice lunch and doesn't need to eat chainsaws anymore, and America gets rid of its worst vermin http://assets.jolt.co.uk/forums/images/icons/icon14.gif

Many ways to die horribly via Oz wildlife

Crocodiles - Around when the Dinosaurs roamed the Earth. Australia has the biggest crocs on Earth.
Snakes - We have the deadliest snakes about including the most poisonous snakes called Taipans.
Spiders - A few small but nasty aggressive spiders here eg Sydney Redback
Mosquitoes - Upto an inch long, can carry lots of nasty diseases.
Box jelly fish - Killer jelly in the water
Scorpions - Big and nasty ones. Mainly eat insects, not people
Stonefish - Fish which look like rock until you step on it. Poisonous spikes
Blue ring octopus - Poisonous

Well, hehe! They prefered to eat Asians so it you're white, you'd be fine. I didn't put the local natives as wildlife as I'd called a racist including them as animals.

Abos - Eat cha:D
lol, they sure do.

Actually, I think he was just trying to do his job.
It wasn't actually even his job, he was just a neighour trying to help out a mate.

That is so racist, I never heard of a dirty abbo eating anyone, they're too doped up on petrol fumes and metho :p

Really? Misleading article then.

Great... I'm thinking of going to Australia for teacher's college... is there anywhere that's relatively safe? (and if possible, close to good surfing spots)

Et chew brutus

oh god, I thought the BBC was above such awful punnage.

Yea, he just lived there or near there. At least that's what the other article I read somewhere...found it:

If you live in the cities, you'd be OK apart from a few spiders. If you go bush, different story. Southern beaches are OK, Northern ones tend have more nasties.

Gold Coast for a busier spot (not many snakes or scorpians here), Noosa Heads (probably a few snakes around in summer) for a friendly backwater town. Just swim between the red and yellow flags and listen to the lifesavers.

Box jellyfish: Probably not below Townsville
Crocs: About the same, closer to Cairns though (same with stonefish, wear reefshoes, and octopii)
Scorpians: I used to catch those when I was 5 or 6 down in Armidale (NSW, I had rellies down there)

Mozzies and spiders are unavoidable you forgot to mention sharks and bullants (not deadly, but they hurt like hell)

So I should pick somewhere in a city (won't be hard I guess since I doubt they build universities in the middle of nowhere) in the southern bit. Okies doke.

What are bullants? And where are the sharks mostly?

And I forgot Wild Buffalo, but they only seem be in the Northern Territory.

What are bullants? And where are the sharks mostly?
Bullant: http://wildlife-australia.de/grafik/w_bullant.jpg (Up to 30mm in size)

Sharks: Everywhere (at least they can be) even in canals, just watch for bullsharks. I'm not sure on the exact stats, but about 10% of attacks are from them, but they cause about 30% of fatalities

Aren't Wild buffalo only found in uninhabitable swamplands, though?

Oh crocodiles, Your calous disregaurd for the wellbeing of chainsaws makes me chuckle so.

You forgot the drop bears. They're lethal.
