Dogs in the Northern Territory

Dog Pack Attacks Croc In Northern Territory


At times nature can be cruel, but there is also a raw beauty, and even a certain justice manifested within that cruelty.

The crocodile, one of the oldest and ultimate predators, normally considered the 'apex predator', can still fall victim to implemented 'team work' strategy, made possible due to the tight knit social structure and 'survival of the pack mentality' bred into the canines.

See the remarkable photograph below courtesy of Nature Magazine. Note that the Alpha dog has a muzzle hold on the croc preventing it from breathing, while another dog has a hold on the tail to keep it from thrashing. The third dog attacks the soft underbelly of the croc.





Not for the squeamish...






 

Don't eat the brown mushrooms when.....

Ok, I am a HUGE fan of "Sex Sells" but this photo shoot clearly shows why photographers shouldn't eat the brown mushrooms before a photo shoot (and what exactly is she selling?)

Strange bed fellows

You know how in every couple, there is one that is always to hot and one that is always too cold?

And this is science?

Looks like some geeks have worked out a way to combine "research" with "getting chicks".  Who can fault any research which involves cute puppies and how well it can help you pick up girls?

I hope these guys from Puppy Pulling Power are getting a bucketful of government funding.

If you are interested in finding out the winning breed of dog for picking up girls, take a look at this video:




I just love the discussion on "quality vs quantity" at the end. I think they loose their scientific rigour!

Gasthof zum Lowen

A group of 40 year old mates meet and discuss where they should meet for dinner.

Finally it is agreed that they should meet at the Gasthof zum Lowen
restaurant because the waitress's there have low cut blouses and nice frontage views.

10 years later, at 50 years of age, the group meets again and they discuss and discuss where they should meet. Finally it is agreed upon that they should meet at the Gasthof zum Lowen because the food there is very good and the wine selection is good also.

10 years later at 60 years of age, the group meets again and once again they discuss and discuss where they should meet. Finally it is agreed upon that they should meet at the Gasthof zum Lowen because they can eat there in peace and quiet and the restaurant is smoke free.

10 years later, at 70 years of age, the group meets again and once again they discuss and discuss where they should meet. Finally it is agreed upon that they should meet at the Gasthof zum Lowen because the restaurant is wheel chair accessible and they even have an elevator.

10 years later, at 80 years of age, the group meets again and once again they discuss and discuss where they should meet. Finally it is agreed upon that they should meet at the Gasthof zum Lowen because that would be a great idea because they have never been there before.

Macquarie Bank Employee Gets Caught Out

How embarrassed would you be if this happened to you? Look closely at the computer monitor in the background. (3 rows back - being watched by the employee with his back to the Camera) at about the 1 min mark.

You can run....

Yep, you can run, maybe you can even hide, but you can't climb!
