View from a Rhino House: beastly worries in Gaza

A crocodile allegedly on the run from a Gaza zoo for more than a year has finally been captured, police said earlier today. An Israeli defense spokeswoman said that it was “too soon” to say if this would result in tomorrow’s planned air force strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities being cancelled.

The 1.8 metre-long reptile was spotted several weeks ago in sewage pools in the northern Gaza Strip, & villagers complained it had been eating their livestock. Police called in fishermen, who promptly, & apparently without difficulty, netted the crocodile, adding some credibility to Israeli claims that it was in fact a prototype nuclear-armed crocodile, being prepared to launch a deadly terrorist strike against amphibian-loving Israeli school children.

“He’s a beautiful troublemaker,” police spokesman Ayman al-Batniji said. “We really sweated to take him alive.”

“This is another blatant example of Iranian attempts to destroy Israel with illegal nuclear animals,” said the Israeli spokeswoman.

The escapee was returned to the zoo & reunited with four other crocodiles donated by the government in Tehran. Owners of the zoo said the crocodile had grown considerably since his escape, & they had decided to name him “Sakher”, or Rock, as a tribute to his survival. His original name it seems translated as “Death-to-the-Zionists” in an obscure farsi dialect.

Tourism at the shit ponds had certainly fallen-off since Sakher had moved in.

Humor meltdown….

Japan has reacted angrily to a French television host who showed a composite picture of national team goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima with four arms and made a joke about the “Fukushima effect”.

Praising Kawashima’s performance in Japan’s 1-0 win over France in a friendly last Friday, Laurent Ruquier’s wisecrack prompted laughter and applause in the studio.

On Tuesday, Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary Osamu Fujimura called Ruquier’s remark, a reference to last year’s nuclear crisis in Fukushima, “inappropriate”. He added that the Japanese Embassy in France had sent a letter of protest to the television station France 2. The letter said the remark “hurts the feelings of people affected by the disaster and hinders efforts for reconstruction,” Fujimura added.
