Man bitten after sitting on crocodile's back
Tuesday, July 13, 2010 - 10:10 AM

A man ejected from a pub in Australia broke into a zoo and climbed onto the back of a crocodile named Fatso, which bit him on the leg but then let him go.

Police said they are surprised the animal did not inflict worse damage.

The 36-year-old man, who police said had just been thrown out of a pub for being drunk, told officials he scaled the barbed wire fence surrounding the Broome Crocodile Park in remote northwest Australia because he wanted to give the 16-foot Fatso a pat.

"He has attempted to sit on its back and the croc has taken offence to that and has spun around and bit him on the right leg," Broome Police Sergeant Roger Haynes said.

The saltwater crocodile then inexplicably let the man go, and he climbed back over the fence to safety, police said.

The man, who was a tourist from eastern Australia and whose name was not released, suffered some "very nasty lacerations" and was taken to a hospital, Sgt Haynes said.

"Saltwater crocodiles ... once they get hold of you, are not renowned for letting you go," Sgt Haynes said. "He's lucky to have escaped with his life."

Saltwater crocodiles are the world's largest reptile and can grow up to 23 feet. They became increasingly common in Australia's tropical north since hunting that almost extinguished the species was banned in 1971.

The bit I find to be "wtf" is the sun's headline "Man admits to Octopus porn" and then the first two paragraphs...

A MAN has admitted downloading a catalogue of depraved images - including clips of sex acts being performed on an OCTOPUS.

Tasmanian Rodney Scott McLagan, 48, had a collection of more than 30,000 images and video files involving sexual acts with children, dogs, ponies, snakes, tigers and an octopus when he was caught.

It says a lot when octopus porn takes precedence over child porn.  They should have just headlined with "sicko".


another wtf

Tell them it is only free if you are leaving leaving the 'Free State'. But if you are leaving the Kingdom (say Prods call it the Queendom & Taigs call it the Condom) you have to pay 5p which we call 'giving the Queen back her schilling'.

HELSINKI: A Russian man trying to win the Sauna World Championships died after collapsing with severe burns in the final stage of an event that required contestants to sit in a 230-degree (110 Celsius) room as water was tossed onto a searing stove, officials and witnesses said.

Vladimir Ladyzhenskiy, an amateur wrestler who was in his 60s, was pronounced dead late Saturday after he collapsed alongside reigning champion Timo Kaukonen of Finland roughly six minutes into the final round. Medical workers pulled both men out of the sauna in front of nearly 1,000 spectators in the southern Finnish town of Heinola.

Both were shaking and bleeding from what appeared to be severe burns, said Hakon Eikesdal, a photographer with the Norwegian daily Dagbladet.

Kaukonen, about 40, was hospitalized in stable condition Sunday, contest spokesman Ossi Arvela said.

The annual contest, which had over 130 participants from 15 countries, had been held since 1999. It will never be held again, Arvela said.

Half a liter (a pint) of water is added to the stove every 30 seconds and the last person to remain at the sauna is the winner.

There was no prize other than "some small things" Arvela said. He declined to provide details.

Arvela said Kaukonen — the defending world champion — had refused to leave the sauna despite getting sick.

Sauna bathing is a popular past-time in Finland, which has an estimated 1.6 million saunas for a population of 5 million. Temperatures are normally kept around 158 to 176 degrees (70-80 degrees Celsius).

"I know this is very hard to understand to people outside Finland who are not familiar with the sauna habit," Arvela said. "It is not so unusual to have 110 degrees in a sauna. A lot of competitors before have sat in higher temperatures than that." Arvala said all rules in Saturday's competition were followed and the temperatures and times were similar to those in previous years.

He said police are investigating the death.
