Don't feed the animals

Aren't 'chew' lucky?
A news morsel from Taiwan. In Taipei, a veterinarian, mistakenly thinking a crocodile had been tranquilized, was stumped when the hungry reptile severed his forearm. I'll go out on a limb here, and say that I can't really blame the crocodile - I like Asian food, too.
In gnawing pain, the zoo worker was rushed to hospital where surgeons were able to successfully reattach the arm. Applause for the vet who showed grit & bravery throughout this disarming ordeal - let's give him a hand!

great reporting... yet again...
i myself have covered a few articals in my yahoo journal;

i was particularly impressed by the one about the girl who totalled a police car and being thrown from the car emerged from the bushes unharmed. Now that was classic. The cops will have to think twice before harrassing innocent bicyclists again!
