Komodo dragons kill man

Two Komodo dragons mauled a fruit-picker to death in eastern Indonesia. The 31-year-old Muhamad Anwar was attacked on Komodo, one of four islands where the giant reptile is found in the wild, minutes after he fell out of a sugar-apple tree on Monday.
He was bleeding badly from bites to his hands, body, legs and neck after two lizards, waiting below, attacked him. He died at a clinic on the neighboring island of Flores soon after.
Attacks on humans by Komodo dragons seem to have increased in recent years.
An 8-year-old boy was killed in 2007 _ the first recorded deadly attack on a human by one of the endangered lizards in three decades. A park ranger narrowly survived after one of the animals entered his hut last month and started biting his hands and legs.
There have been several other attacks in recent months, according to Metro TV.
The reptiles, which can grow up to 10 feet long (three meters) and weigh as much as 150 pounds (70 kilograms), have shark-like serrated teeth and a bite that can be deadly. Its saliva contains roughly 50 different known bacteria strains, so infection is a risk.
Komodos can be found in the wild on the Indonesian islands of Komodo, Padar and Rinca. Tiny numbers also can be found on Flores.

Blur already...animals start attacking humans...soon it will be war against wild life and same time against terrorism at the same time against unhappy nations...really WORLD WAR...

But what was he doing up in the tree in the first place? Escaping from the dragons? From what i know, these lizards can move really fast and probably to escape, he climbed on o the tree, but bad he can't hold on til help comes.....

Miracle Boy? NOT!!

Muhammad Ponari is a little boy from Indonesia with a big reputation -- thousands of people say the 9-year-old boy has magical powers. His extraordinary story started about two months ago when a lightning bolt struck the earth near his home in the East Java town of Jombang. His followers say he caught a stone that was flung into the air by the impact.

Claiming the stone has been imbued with miraculous powers, he has been dipping it into water, which is drunk by those wanting cures for all sorts of ailments.
Claims of his powers have spread and fast growing crowds have come to his home.
Despite the government order to stop, at least 5,000 people queue in front of his house every day.
The Jakarta Globe newspaper reports that "patients, some with terminal diseases, wait for days and pay millions of rupiah for the magical water dubbed 'Ponari Sweat,' a play on the name of popular isotonic drink".
One infant "treated" by Ponari has died and the paper said four people were killed in crowd stampedes.
Various secular and religious authorities, as well as medical experts, have scoffed at Ponari's miracle status. And yet the crowds keep coming.

I think the above is absolutely rubbish!! This is the 21st century and with the kind of technology we are exploiting, people still believe in such absurd stories?!!

If this is true, then all the doctors, medical practitioners hospitals, etc will be outta job!!!

the boy will probably run off with the money after conning enough....but how much is enough is the question.....
