Dumbass. And why destroy the crocodile. I hate when they do that, the dumbass presented himself as prey and was treated as such. His fault.

Ohh, subby, I won't read the article but I'll guess: he bought the wrong beer?

Foster's.

Australian for "Bud Light".

/This is now a beer thread

Really close to Darwin, I'd say.

I somehow doubt he realized the irony as the croc took him under.

gene pool cleaning

Damn it. Why do they keep killing the smart animals?

Hell, if I lived by a river and two drunks swam up onto my property in the States, I'm pretty sure I could shoot 'em legally. At the very least, I'd win the jury trial. Deer country FTW.

This croc was just doing the same thing, but his property is IN the water. That's all. Why'd they kill it? Stupid Austrians.

I thought the Darwin part of the subject was just a joke to say this guy deserved the Darwin Award, but that parts for real. Too funny! Wait, I'm laughing at the fact that someone died, hm... not good. Evil Fark is making me laugh at something I shouldn't.

I don't know why they always kill the predator. Maybe it's a warning to the other crocs??

I can feel the hate swelling in you now. Give in to your hatred...

On Easter, too. The horror.

FTFA "As we now know, one made it and one didn't."

Don't know why, but this made me giggle. What's the rule, you don't have to be fast, just faster than the other guy?

He shoots...HE SCORES!

It because animals that eat humans once are likely to do so again. It's a precautionary measure. They can develop a taste for us, basically.

And this really isn't surprising. Darwin is like Australia's Florida.

Guys an idiot.

I'm not from that part of Oz, and even I know enough to stay away from croc-infested waters.

Not sure how I feel about Darwin on this one. He killed the dunce and the smart croc. Almost deserves a FAIL tag for Darwin.

/Also, how do the Australians kiss? Down Under!

But did he manage to fix the cable?

King Something: Foster's.

/This is now a beer thread

So I take it that "Bud Light" is a disgusting beer that isn't popular at all in its homeland so it's only ever sold to foreigners because foreigners don't know shiat about beer?


Nice to see the salty was killed as an object lesson to all the other crocs out there. :p

"Out of respect to the family I do not want to go into any details about the trauma that was caused," he said.


-Well, 'Eaten by a crocodile' is pretty much all the detail I need, thanks...

Swampthing in Korea: Guys an idiot.

Approves

But he was getting BEER for his buddies, that sounds more like HERO than dumbass.

Getting eaten by a croc while getting beer would be kinda like getting shot while dragging a wounded comrade out of a war zone.

Crocs drag prey into the water then spin around, twisting the prey and tearing off chunks. Since it probably had a limb, the man died of simultaneous drowning, massive blood loss and violent de-limbing.

I'd've just driven to a 7-11, but that's me.

"Doin' the crocodile roll..."

I was not aware that Australia had a province called Florida..

He got killed by Crocs? I hate Crocs!

12.fl.oz.: He should have just waited till their heads lined up and ran across the top of them.

Only if the vine is not available.

Why destroy the croc? This was brought up some time ago in another Fark thread. That article quoted a wildlife authority as saying "it's standard practice to destroy an animal that has killed or digested a human being."

Which brought up the interesting comment "I'd hate to be digested and not killed."

As much as we're cheering the croc for cleansing the gene pool, it didn't know the guy was an idiot. It just treated him as any prey small enough to kill and eat.

Didn't any of these people ever watch Steve Irwin?shiat like this is why I don't go anywhere near Australia ...

+1 to subby for not misusing irony tag.

First, the crazy lady who wanted to frolic with the polar bears in Germany. Now, the addled Aussie who jumped onto the steam table at the Outback Croc Buffet. I sense a When Humans Do Incredibly Stupid Things And Animals Oblige trifecta in play.

Drunken Australian

redundant?

Its best to get rid of the proven man eating animals when possible.

Plus you get the money from the dead guys wallet when you unzip the crocodile's belly. And enough croc skin for a dozen handbags 6 pairs of boots 20 wallets a set of luggage and a briefcase.

Iys not smart for a croc to kill an animal that has cronies that will hunt it down and kill it. This has been proven thousands of times with both hippos and humans. That croc earned his death sentence fair and square.

OK, just so they don't do it in anger.

What waiting for their heads lined up might have looked like:

I wonder if the guy had enough alcohol in his blood to give the croc a second hand buzz?

the 'need' to destroy the crocodile reminds me of a chris rock quote:

"That tiger didn't go 'crazy'.... that tiger went 'tiger'"

sad.

Nice screenshot Drubell, what game or movie is it from?

I assume that guy dies since that peashooter would do 3 fifths of farkall to that croc.

-I think the idea is that once an animal gets a taste of man-meat, they become extra dangerous since they may then seek out humans instead of avoiding them as they usually do. Of course, on that basis, Britney, Lindsay, and Paris should all be killed...

Shall we try that again? I really doubt there are crocodiles in Austria...crocs don't do well in snow and I reckon it would be hard to get mountaineering gear to fit them too.

Darwin - check
Crocodile - check
Alcohol - check

everything is right in the world

... He wrestles an alligator, kills it with his bear hands and gets himself a beer?

Just saw on the news, a piece about some woman who jumped into the polar bear enclosure @ Berlin zoo, wtf !

/am waiting for the dumb people V dangerous animal story to complete the trifecta...something about someone doing moonies at Great White Sharks would do...

Whose fault is it?
A. Dumbass idiot who was eaten
B. Dumbass Croc who ate him
C. The Gubmints

12.fl.oz.: He should have just waited till their heads lined up and ran across the top of them.

WIN.

I've swam across a cold river at night for beer, but yeah, no crocs or alligators for that matter. I think a perch might have bitten my leg at one point, though.

Killed the croc, when the dumbarse who got ate put himself in that position. Suckin'. Kinda like pitbulls. Authorities also kill the family pitbull when it eats the kid's face off.

The animals are just doing what they have evolved or were bred to do.

Now killing the neighbors pet pitbull or croc cuz it eats YOUR kid's face off... well that's different.

Wow. Serious slipping, farkers. Four whole posts to get to this?

Definitely should have been one and done...
