Whoa. Want to hear a messed up story? If not, stop reading here.
So I went along to the local bar after class tonight and met a young woman from England who told me about something that happened when she was volunteering in Australia. Some survivors of the Bali bombing had been flown to Australia for medical treatment. One of them wanted to go swimming in a local lake. She asked her guide if it was safe. Since there were dozens of signs posted everywhere warning people not to swim, he responded with a heavily sarcastic, “Yeah.” She spoke German and didn’t catch the sarcasm. She went swimming, and was devoured by a crocodile. They later caught the crocodile, who was blind in one eye and missing all of his teeth, and was probably extremely hungry and a human was all he could catch. He had swallowed her whole. The guide was put on trial, but ultimately found not guilty.
Yikes.
