Man has arm reattached after croc bites it off

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — A zoo worker had his forearm reattached Thursday after his colleagues recovered the severed limb from the mouth of a 440-pound Nile crocodile, an official said.

The crocodile severed Chang Po-yu’s forearm on Wednesday at the Shaoshan Zoo in the southern city of Kaohsiung when the veterinarian tried to retrieve a tranquilizer dart from the reptile’s hide, zoo officials said.

The Liberty Times newspaper said Chang failed to notice the crocodile was not fully anesthetized when he stuck his arm through an iron rail to medicate it.

As Chang was rushed to the hospital on Wednesday, a zoo worker shot two bullets at the crocodile’s neck to retrieve the forearm, said Chen Po-tsun, a zoo official.

“The crocodile was unharmed as we didn’t find any bullet holes on its hide,” Chen said. “It probably was shocked and opened its mouth to let go of the limb.”


The 17-year-old reptile is one of a pair of Nile crocodiles kept by the Kaohsiung zoo. The crocodile is listed as an endangered species, and is rapidly disappearing from its native African habitat.

Chen said the zoo purchased the crocodile from a local resident who had kept it as a pet.

I have some pictures if you care:

I'm watching the Yids - Sevilla match, and that Nick Webster idiot is clearly rooting for Spurs. This biased English bastard needs to get off the air, he knows shit about the game.

I would pay my cable company extra $$$ just to have just one lone English-speaking footie announcer who does not spew an air of English football superiority from every pore of his flabby, pasty body like a lawn sprinkler.

It was bad enough when I had my Irish neighbor over a couple nights ago (who became a U.S. citizen earlier in the day) as we were watching the Valencia-Chelsea match. He innocently claims to admire the strength of the Italian clubs, but then goes on about how he doesn't like how negatively they play in protecting against goals, etc.

This while we're watching Valencia hold Miguel back from making his first upfield charge until about 60' into the game, and with hardly a shot at goal for Valencia the whole second half, and playing against a bruising Chelsea side that is clearly grinding it out and has little intention to do otherwise. :rolleyes2

People who don't watch much Serie A still think they're right to generalize about the Italian negativity. It has become an old cliche with no truth to it whatsoever. But you know that, I know that, pretty much everybody here knows that. But why wouldn't an Irishman know that?

Well, it becomes pretty obvious when you have idiots such as Nick Webster patrolling our airwaves with an ugly English accent holding an EPL flag. And people wonder why myself and others here blast the bloody journos who discuss this sport in the United States..

He's always like this, he asks not to bitch and moan about moderation, yet he's doing it... he pretends to be/look cool. He called me names just because I defended Burke a week ago.

Not to also mention that he keep on saying that this is only a forum and all these bullshits yet when he's banned he register as another user (or god knows, maybe thats his imaginary brother) oh well.
Check again, bro. The guys you've been defending for ages now are the ones claiming it's only a forum. Grow up. I don't know why you suddenly picked sides, but what do you want from them? I guess this is how you "win" future debates. It's pathetic.

The only reason everybody accepts you is that you're downright stupid anyway. If you wouldn't be such a retard, and I don't care if I get banned for this, people wouldn't stop bashing you. But I, for one, refuse to cut you some slack because you're an idiot.

EDIT: I know I shouldn't care, but I just can't stand it when some guy with an IQ below 80 suddenly has the guts to question my intelligence. I mean, sure, perhaps I'm not that bright either, but this is just ...

Speaking of which, I was reading that other day an interview with Lippi in World Soccer Magazine, when asked: Did Italy play their own football to win the World Cup in Germany?? He answered:

Marcello Lippi said:
We played a traditionally strong Italian game, we demonstrated a football style that was not just about defense but also more modern , in keeping with how the majority of teams now play in Italy. People who think Italian football is just about defence are either ill-informed or dishonest. You cannot analyse Italian footbal as if it were the fifties or sixties. There are plenty of Italian teams now that are attack-minded. Nobody opts just to defend and hoofs the ball upfield.

There's no country in the world with a better standard of coaching. At every level, Italian coaches are very good - technically, tactically, athletically- and that's because lower-level footbal in Italy is very, very competitive, much more so than in lots of other countries
Other parts of the interview that are worthy of mentioning (being Juve related):

WS: were you disappointed to beat France only on penalties in the Final?
Lippi: Not at all. Penalties represent a skill that, according to the rules, can decide a game. I'v been through plenty of penalty shoot-outs in my career - with Juventus against Ajax in 1996 I won a Champions League; at Old Trafford in 2003 I lost one [to Milan]. But a shoot-out says a lot about a team's mentality, its self-belief. For example, in Rome against Ajax, all my players looked me in the eye and tolde me they wanted to take one of the penalties because they all wanted to be part of the success. At Old Trafford, after a match in which we had not played that well, nobody looked me in the eye, some of the players were looking into the grandstand, some were looking down at their boots, so much so that I thought at one point, what do you want lads, will I take all five kicks myself? The point is that at Old trafford, my players didn't believe in it and, accordingly, we lost the shoot-out.

In Berlin all players wanted to take a penalty, even [keeper Gigi] Buffon said to me: "If you need me, I'll take one, boss." When I saw that, I was convinced we would win. But we did not prepare in any special way for penalties, we didn't practise them.


WS: Even after finding success, coaches still tend to be judged by pretty exacting standards.

Lippi: Yes. I took Juventus to four Champion League finals [he won the first and lost the others] yet somebody asked me after the fourth [against Milan in 2003] if I considered myself a loser. Yes, I said, a successful looser. To get to the Final that year, we had beaten Barcelona in the quarter-finals, and Real Madrid in the semi-finals, then you go and lose with the last kick of the shoot-out and someone tells you that you are a loser. I wonder about people sometimes...

There's nothing wrong in saying "It's only a forum" but the sad thing is when you claim that your brother is the one using your account. thats indeed sad.

And you know what's also sad? saying you'll never return to the forums for like 20times now atleast when you were banned for life, but thanks to the likes of me, snoop and couple of other members who returned your ass over here, the likes of us asked them to unban you. that played a role if you ask me.

Future debate???:lol:, yea ok

The only reason everybody accepts you is that you're downright stupid anyway. If you wouldn't be such a retard, and I don't care if I get banned for this, people wouldn't stop bashing you. But I, for one, refuse to cut you some slack because you're an idiot.
Is that how you usually argue/talk? you can't say a full sentence without insulting? you really proved my point with this post.

Of course you wouldn't mind being banned....because one of you or your imaginary brother will return.

EDIT: I know I shouldn't care, but I just can't stand it when some guy with an IQ below 80 suddenly has the guts to question my intelligence. I mean, sure, perhaps I'm not that bright either, but this is just ...
I usually don't question ppl's intelligence.....not my type.

....and seriously what's with question my intelligence? keep your feet down, people WILL question your intelligence when you say such a thing.

I still am in disbelief how so many people who don't follow Lega Calcio one bit have it stuck in their heads that it is 1963 still and Italian soccer hasn't changed at all since.

I swear I am going to start comebacks from now on like, "English league First Division football is pretty good, but I find it boring that all the English sides play the W-M formation they copied from Arsenal."

Which most of them didn't even witness. Just hearsay.

No. What the fuck is the problem with you, son? People such as Rab defend you when you're unfairly banned, but you turn their back on them when the problem doesn't involve you? Honestly I don't know why you stick your Belgian ass into every situation that occurs on this forum... you're hardly the voice of reason and just a voice pure bias, as seen with every single topic you take part in on this forum, from Relgion to Italia to our captain.

You're just simply too bull-headed to ever reason with other people. I'm starting to believe Nick's claims when he says you have absolutely no friends because seriously I don't know of anybody who would want to be a friend of a confrontational dunderhead such as yourself. I used to think you were an intelligent guy before but perhaps I was fooling myself and you're just adept at speaking in foreign languages, as opposed to being able to use common sense..

Yeah, tell me about it. English football in its pure sense is all hard running, strength, pace and kicking the ball as far as you can. The way fans of English football evaluate the football of other leagues is reminiscent of Republican families teaching their kids that George Bush will let them carry around firearms while the Democrats will not..
