How dumb can you get?

Postby ozzy72 » Thu Mar 06, 2008 4:59 am

When Novon Mashiah, an Israeli tourist, posed on the edge of his dinghy in the South Alligator River in the Australian Outback, he was clearly hoping for a special snap.
But Mr Mashiah, 27, realised that he had bitten off more than he could chew when a huge saltwater crocodile, about four metres long, leapt out of the murky water.
Mr Mashiah, who was posing for a photograph, said he did not realise crocodiles were so aggressive.

"I was shocked - the animal clearly wanted to kill me,'' Mr Mashiah, from Tel Aviv, told the Northern Territory News......................No sh#t Sherlock ::)

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Why would a harmless crocodile want to hurt that mean man?  Clearly the croc must be angry because of shrinking habitat due to a local housing development.  There's no way an innocent creature of nature would possibly intend ill will unless there was some man-made circumstance.   ::)

Probably the only thing that actually saved this moron is that the croc decided he need to cut down on junk food.... ;)

Just got this great comment from a friend who has a rabbi for a father "Why shouldn't reptiles be allowed Kosher food?" ;D ;D ;D

I mean how can anyone not know a croc is aggressive? ::)


Well, I could see how someone could mistake an ugly, hungry, vicious crocidile with something as peacefull as a small cuddly and furry pet..... ::)

I'm assuming the boat was rented... wouldn't someone have warned him about where he was going?
Or maybe he impressed them as being such a dumbass, they felt it best to keep quiet... ;D
