That was a great story I sometimes wonder how many Americans were in the same situtation and turned to local customs and decided to stay.

Something about this story bothers me: There are no crocodiles on islands in the south pacific. Is it all invented?

Sorry bud, beg to differ on that.
Large reptiles, including crocodiles and huge monitor lizards (family Varanidae), like the Komodo Dragon (Varanus komodoensis), are ecologically important predators in Australia, New Guinea. Crocodylus novaeguineae is native to New Guinea. The largest crocodile ever held in captivity is an Estuarine/Siamese hybrid named Yai at the famous Samutprakarn Crocodile Farm and Zoo, Thailand. This animal measures 6 meters (19 ft) in length and weighs 2,450 lb. Another huge captive specimen was a salt water crocodile named Gomek. Gomek was captured by George Craig in Papua New Guinea and sold to St. Augustine Alligator Farm in Florida, USA. Gomek died of heart disease in February 1997. When he died, he was 5.5 meters long—as confirmed by St. Augustine Alligator Farm and probably between 70 and 80 years old. SEMPER FI The Gunny PROUD TO BE AN INFIDEL America is not at war.

Did you ever see the one that was on Ripleys Believe it or Not. About a skypirate commercial airliner about at 70,000 feet kicks the window out to get rid of some foe on the jet holding his breath and in one hand a seat belt. One passenger on the way out the window had a knife cut the belt strap both blew out the window had a fight holding onto the edge of the wing then both fell (one happen to be me) kick and killed him in air about 40,000 feet then passout due to no air then at 10000 feet woke up saw a ranch started whistling to get horse to move. located some horses who were panicing, single one out on the run, hit it. and impaled both into the ground like a steel spike. The horse still alive although I was impaled in it. The horse just so happen to be own by California Gov. Ronald Regan. I walk away smelling of horse shit and blood but no bruises.
A dream to some and a nightmare to all others. |
