An entry from my great mate Liz:

Had to share this.
Do you know what, I was listening to the radio this morning, on the way to work - it was a talk back show from Park Ranger in Darwin, going on about the recent change in weather conditions up there - and the effect of the digestive systems in the crocodiles up there - that are "getting too cold."

Let me explain (as he did): “…because of the recent wet weather, in Darwin - and this temperature drop that has shot over Australia, Darwin has experienced (what, for the first time since 1968) really wet and freezing conditions, like rain, wind and (shock horror) suffering a drop to 20 degrees the other day.”

In Darwin we have real problems, it seems.

Continues the Ranger, "You know, some people up here don’t even own a Jumper or a jacket" (oh well! Hell, HAS broken loose – hasn’t it!!! - what we might have to purchase a LONG, SLEEVE - SHIRT!)

But that’s not all, he said, "And the crocodiles up here,” he said, (with the true lull of the grave and slow talking oca's up north) "that they rely on the warm weather for their digestive systems - the crocs up here go and lay out in the sun for hours and hours and this warms them up in the middle, is a crucial part of their digestive aid and if it stays too cold, the crocodiles are going to start to have some problems"

WHO HAS THE PROBLEMS??

I was listening to this story in the cab this morning, doing my make up, late for work. I looked up and sad to the cab driver "what the f*ck?" who cares if the crocodiles get cold, and die!!

Cabbie says "Yes. Yes, lets see, why don't they throw some electric blankets over the them?'

I go, "Mate - I know" - conducting with blush brush,

"Mate, You can BET..and i mean BET your LAST brass RAZOO that if you camp down there, you know, in your new sloppy joe, bought in desperation, and watch over these 'poor freezing little crocodiles' that you will find, there to be NO SIGNS of any 'digestive issues...'

- oh, funny that, suddenly..... NO SIGN OF YOU!!!

It reminded me of Wolfman. WHY does mankind feel it’s his JOB to get involved with the flaming ECOSYSTEM. It's none of our business like, the digestive situation of a the crocodiles of Australia. For God's sake.
