More on crocs
Extract from a site on Crocs
While a 20-foot Nile croc. is probably a fabulous beast (?!!?) , - the world record croc is actually bigger than that . It was an estuarine crocodile ( Crocodylus porosus ) reckoned to yield the biggest individuals of any living species . The trophy belonged to a Frenchman , Paul de la Gironiere , who lived near Luzon in the Philippines . In 1825 he was greatly annoyed by a crocodile that killed & ' ate ' one of his horses . Assembling a posse of spearmen , he led a chaotic tallyho after the croc , which because of its bulk & the smallness of the river was unable to escape . Nevertheless six hours & uncounted spearthrusts later it was still alive . La Gironiere had fired several musket shots from close range , once into the reptiles mouth , seemingly without effect . In fact he later found out that his musket caused scarcely any injury . Then a resourceful hunter drove a lance into the animals back with a hammer and by a fluke found the animals spinal chord and killed the croc .
The beast was so heavy it took all forty hunters to roll it ashore . " When at last we had got him completely out of the water we stood stupefied with astonishment . From the extremity of his nostrils to the tip of his tail , he was found to be twenty-seven feet long , and his circumference was eleven feet , measured under the armpits . His belly was much more voluminous , but we thought it unnecessary to measure him there , judging that the horse he had breakfasted on must have considerably increased his bulk...."
Now that Hard.

Polar Bear got duffed over by a Walrus in that though, so it's clearly bollocks.

If "Practice makes perfect" and "nobody is perfect" why bother waste time practicing when there is beer to be drank.
