Shark attack!

[den]

News services are full of stories about the latest shark attack, where the bloke drove to the surf lifesaving club with the wobbegong shark attached to his leg

Wobbegongs are not known for their attacks. They're better known as "hake" when they're encased in batter and deep fried. You really have to work at getting attacked by a wobbegong, almost to the point where you have to kick one in the face to make it bite you. People generally don't report wobbegong attacks. It's almost as embarrassing as being trapped in a wombat hole when the wombat presses its bum up against the roof and crushes you.


Australia is that kind of place.

Bizzare injuries that go unreported

Heh. That reminds me of the people here in the States who show up in Emergency Departments with bizzare things stuck up their bums or stuck on their dongs. They only show up when they are desperate, and all attempts at removal have failed. };xD

I was doing my Paramedic residency when a guy came in with a "foreign" object (not a cock) stuck up his bum. I didn't get the details until I heard the radiologist dictating the results:

"In the descending sigmoidal colon is a small, cylindrical object approximately 1cm by 8cm, resembling a penlight flashlight. Within this object are two smaller, similar cylindrical objects approximatly .75cm by 7cm, resembling batteries. Conclusion: it cannot be concluded at this time whether the flashilight is on or off..." He grinned as he said that, and I lost it. Unprofessional as it was, all that could be heard throughout the ER in the wee hours of the morning was a grizzly bear bellowing...

Apparently the guy had heard burglars in his garage, and with trusty flashlight in hand, he went forth (naked) to challenge them. Big mistake... Apparently they'd done time in prison, and he looked, well, "fay," so they knew just what to do.

There is a happy "ending" to the story: the surgeon sedated the guy and removed the flashlight with forceps normally used to deliver babies without having to cut him. Oh -- and the light was "on."
