Croc-wise in Croc country!

Terri and Bindi Irwin TV Commercial on how to be Croc Wise


North Queensland is croc country.
And... crickey! crocodiles are living dinosaurs.
And a crucial part of our ecosystem.
So in croc country be croc-wise.
Treat all water as croc territory.
Never swim where crocodiles live.
Camp well back from the water.
Keep rubbish secure.
And never clean fish at boat ramps.
In croc country be croc-wise.
It could save their lives and yours.
Crocs rule!

NOTES:
Crickey! = Slang an expression of surprise [euphemistic for Christ!] and a beloved word used by Steve Irwin, the
Crocodile Hunter.
Crocs rule! = Steve Irwin would often say "Crocs Rule!" at the end of his shows.

Spitting Image - Cher

DUI Scottish Style



The guy's drunk. He staggers down the street, stumbles to his car and starts fumbling to get his key in the lock when two cops walk up, one male, one female.

The male cop says he's going to have to administer a sobriety test before he'll let the guy drive. "Would you sleep with my colleague here?" he asks the drunk.

The camera cuts to a close-up of the female cop, whose face is hideous.

The drunk looks at her, grinning lasciviously, then answers with an enthusiastic "Aye!"

Wrong! He's failed the sobriety test.

"Cuff him," the male cop says.

Transport For London - Do the test campaign

Transport For London is challenging motorists to test their change blindness in a campaign designed to increase the safety of cyclists.

The results of the tests demonstrate something called change blindness, in which only a tiny fraction of all the information going into your brain enters your consciousness, and inattention blindness, in which concentration on one thing can lead to other events going unnoticed.
