Unfortunately, the article didn't answer the one question all decent, right-thinking people want answered:

Why don't the damn crocs do the world a favour and eat Steve Irwin?

From WordWinds link The ancient Greeks called the beast kroko-drilo, "pebble worm"
but back in the bad days.. this came up in another thread, WordWinds thread called Crocs His and Hers...
http://wordsmith.org/board/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=animalsafari&Number=70363

the kroko piece (pebble) is an intersting root word.

Yeah, the pebble connection is mentioned in the link I posted up front.

I'm shedding genuine tears, not crocodile tears, that the board is so dead this morning.
I demand a roll call, he said officiously.

Wordwind is here in between classes.

Why was my joke pulled from I&A? It certainly was innocuous....

Joke pulled? What,when,why? If it was nocuous, who knocked it?
Shedding great big tears, and that's not a crock.

Do we have an officious joke jerker?
