What? Nobody is talking about what an idiot the Crocodile Hunter is?

OK, so you are faced with a crocodile. Who do you want advice from - Steve Irwin or all the childcare "experts"?

I know it isn't quite like that but I happen to think we go too far in avoiding risk these days.

You just believe he's so smart because he had the novel idea of marrying a woman instead of a sheep.

There's noo doot aboot it.

You know I sent some Canadian beer home. I got a weird letter back saying that they were sorry, but my horse would never race again.

I think that getting into a crocodile pit is a pretty easy risk to avoid, no?

Steve's had a few crocs take a nip at him before. Some stupid set of circumstances could occur (he could slip) and the croc could get the kid.

Depends how many pints you've had and how good looking the woman you are trying to impress is.

[KrazyHorse]

Why? How many pints had he fed his kid?

[Asher]

What kind of moron brings his one month old baby in an croc pit during a feeding?

Better yet, what kind of moron defends this action on internet fora?

He's Australian, so I say, six.

Who gives a **** if he took his kid in the crocodile pit?

I wonder what his wife said, she's crackers too.

A shameless self-promoter. He did it at his "Animal Park" in Queensland as a promotional thing. He also, to entertain the crowds, puts his 4 year old girl into a pond wearing her floaties and tells her to "act like crocodile bait" to show the people how not to behave when crocs are around. She flaps her arms around and splashes about.

She's American.

Just when we got rid of Rolf Harris for good too.

Strange, I thought this is how all Australian behaved.

Crocs generally don't lunge forward. If it did, it'd gnaw on his leg first. It's not a wise move, but he probably knows more about crocs than you know about beer.
