Dragons - No Trespassing

Postby KLA2 » Tue Mar 24, 2009 8:39 pm

An Indonesian fisherman has been killed by Komodo dragons after he was attacked while trespassing on a remote island in search of fruit, officials said Tuesday.

A highlight of this poorly crafted article is where the parks' spokesman states "there are a lot of wild dragons ... " That would be as opposed to those tame, kid friendly petting Komodos. :roll:

Sorry for whatever circumstances drove this poor fool to enter a park inhabited by 10-foot, man-eating lizards with a toxic bite, but ... what did he not understand about the warning sign? :roll:

I knew those things were big, but I didn't realize how dangerous they were to people until I saw our favourite insane Australian (now deceased) running around with them...
