Seriously, when it rains, it pours.

Apparently the survivors of the tsunami in the Nicobar island chain have a new problem thats starting to get out of hand: crocodiles washed out of their normal habitat by the tsunami that are now getting slightly hungry and aggressive.

That article is a bit old, but apparently the crocs are now interfering with aid distribution.

It's not really a laughing matter but rather funny anyway.

Perhaps Iran can donate some boghammers to help with this situation. I'd imagine a pack of speedboats armed with recoilless rifles would be quite effective for croc hunting.

Combine this story with Australia's promise of $1 billion in aid, and it's obviously time for Mick Dundee to step in!
