Victim Of The Day

Croc Goes Postal!

This guy Freddie was cutting down a dead tree that had fallen against a crocodile pen during some recent bad weather in Australia when a 15 ft crocodile jumped out of the water, sped up the tree and actually grabbed the chainsaw out of his hands! I guess he didn't like all that buzzing. He then destroyed the chainsaw, chewing on it for about an hour-and-a-half. The cleaning up effort's been postponed for a couple of days.

He's Got Balls

A man diving for golf balls in a lake on a Florida golf course was attacked by a 9-foot alligator Tuesday afternoon. He was under the water near the ninth hole when a group of golfers heard him moan and cry for help. The gator had bitten his air tank and had tried to pull him under. The dude grabbed his utility knife and tried to stab the gator. That's when it bit his arm. Two trappers were on the scene in less than an hour. They taped its jaws shut and loaded it into a pickup truck.

Eww!

On a leisurely Sunday afternoon fishing trip, two boaters found a human head bobbing in the water! Part of the spine was still attached, it had some teeth attached and part of the left rib cage. The ears were visible and so were the eye sockets. Gross.

Eh, That's Nuthin'

A leisurely swim almost turned deadly for Joe Noling, who was attacked by an alligator Thursday afternoon. He was swimming in Lake Whistler when the alligator came out of nowhere and grabbed his shoulder! He escaped with a few puncture wounds but what I don't understand is the dude said he's seen the gator before... AND this was the fourth time this week he went swimming in the lake... even though he's got a perfectly safe swimming pool in his backyard.

Not Even Jesus Can Save You

Christian novelist, Davis Bunn was attacked by a shark this weekend in Australia. He was surfing when the shark came out of nowhere and bit his legs. It took all he had to swim 150 feet to shore with two wounded legs. Then, not wanting to worry his wife with a phone call, he drove home. Huh? 120 stitches later, it looks like Davis is on the mend.

Dude, Are You Peaking Yet?

Two men began hallucinating after eating Salema fish in a Mediterranean restaurant. One of the men, a 40-year old, was admitted to a hospital suffering from a digestive problem and frightening visual and auditory hallucinations, which took 36 hours to disappear. The second man, a 90-year old, suffered from auditory hallucinations a couple of hours after eating the same kind of fish, followed by a series of nightmares over the next two nights. There is no antidote.

But beachgoers in New Jersey are threatened by an even greater terror - a shark that has suddenly developed a taste for human flesh. Starting July 1st and lasting over a period of 12 days, the unidentified shark kills four people and seriously injures a fifth before the attacks stop, and threatens New Jersey's thriving tourist industry. Hot.

34-year-old Oliver Johnson is dying from a flesh-eating disease after falling into the polluted waters of the Ala Wai Boat Harbor last week. He had been drinking at a bar across the street from his condo before he fell into the harbor early Friday morning.

He was later placed on life support! His leg was amputated on Monday. His body also went into Toxic Shock Syndrome. Apparently, he's so swollen up his friends can't even recognize him.

Odor Protection

Sweden's favorite snack, fermented herring, traditionally devoured in the summer months with large quantities of highly alcoholic beverages, is no longer welcome by the airline industry who have asked passengers not to take it on board, saying it poses a safety risk. Shops at Stockholm's Arlanda airport were asked to stop selling the notorious delicacy after airlines, including British Airways and Air France, became concerned the tins could explode midflight and potentially shower customers with noxious odours that would take days to fumigate.
