FWIW, I have heard German tourists described as among the most recklessly foolish of visitors abroad. But the poor girl may have just been not able to read the English warning sign.
Lorne: My little prince. Oh…what did they do to you? Angel: Nina…tried to…eat me. Lorne: Oh, you're--medic! You're gonna make it Angel. Just don't stop fighting. Doctor! Is there a Gepetto in the house?

That story has reminded me of this thing I heard in the UK years ago.
Guy has cancer. Guy goes to special cancer hospital and gets cured. Guy is very grateful. Guy decides to raise money for special cancer hospital -- with Sponsored Parachute Jump. Guy is seriously injured in Sponsored Parachute Jump and spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
Even Tim bloody Minear wouldn't come up with something like that.

According to a translator site, in German, crocodile is Krokodil.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
According to a translator site, in German, crocodile is Krokodil.
Further geek stuff: the word itself derives from the Greek for 'pebble worm'.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Frankly, if you are in a foreign country that *has* large meat-eating aquatic reptiles? Check around before going for a dip.

In completely unrelated UnAmerican news, an Israeli football soccer team just beat Manchester United yesterday, 3:0 (!) The victory is doubly sweet because it's the second time that team gets to play against MU, and they've lost on the former round. It's not even lessened by the fact that the Israeli team didn't accumulate enough points to go on the next round of the games.
I didn't get to watch any of the game, but I knew the score thanks to the responses of the watching neighbors all around. I just remembered that when I had mentioned here the former game some people had said things like 'go any team that plays MU', so I thought I'd share that.
