The sudden appearance of a crocodile onboard a routine flight in the Democratic Republic of Congo led to the plane crashing, killing 20. Only one passenger survived the crash, along with the crocodile; the crocodile was then killed with a machete. We’re not sure why this movie hasn’t been made yet.
For every cute little kitten, there are at least a million other animals out there that will literally eat your face off. Why? Because nature is an asshole, that’s why. While things like parktown prawns, great white sharks and rain spiders scare the bejezus out of me, they are nothing compared to these 7 creatures that prove that nature hates us and we are all going to die.
Scores of dead pigeons lay strewn across the Table Bay Boulevard in Cape Town on the weekend, metres from the Cape Town International Convention Centre. A report has indicated that while the birds were initially thought to have suffered from a mass bout of the deadly avine Newcastle’s Respiratory Disease (no relation to the mining […]

True 2oceansvibers who are also following 2oceansvibe on Twitter, will know that we indulged in some pigeon for lunch the other day in Menerbes – South of France. It was my first time eating such a small bird (insert supermodel joke here) and I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Here we have our neighbours, […]
Please, dear God, do not see this as the start of a trend. We do NOT post lost dog ads on 2oceansvibe. But I just thought the rareness of receiving a lost dog ad in my inbox would be enough reason for this “one-off.” It’s very “niche,” don’t you think? And I am SO niche […]
It should be noted that yesterday I had not only my first run of Summer, but also my first swim! In the ocean, that is. It was most refreshing. I swam to Robben Island and back. Why lie? So anyway, summer is well and truly here and I’ve already lost count of how many summer […]
So a bunch of guys and girls finally had enough and got together to prove that Telkom’s Telkom “1Mb/s ADSL” lines are so low that a homing pigeon could probably deliver the data faster. So they stapled a 4Gb memory card to the pigeon’s leg and sent the same size file via Telkom Internet over […]
Answer : very cool! With a jet-pack like that attached to his back, one would hope the owner got some pet insurance for this hound? Don’t want that thing flying into walls and stuff. [thanks nikki]
A buddy of mine is a partner at the Simbavati River Lodge , which is situated in the northern sector of the Timbavati Nature Reserve. He sent me an excited email yesterday with a link to a Youtube video. It was a recently taken clip of an elephant giving birth during a tourist game drive. […]
Developed from/into the book Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation. As told by Peter Walsh to The Roofer , to me. This may well be the best joke of your life. A Giant Panda A panda walks into a restaurant, sits down and orders a sandwich. After he finishes […]
Oh, and I thought these pages were just about sea, sun, champagne, fast cars, yachts and beautiful people? You’re so very wrong, my friend! It’s ALSO about adorable little animals. Like these two gorgeous little meerkats – taken in London last month. Too adorable for words! See? There’s something for everyone! Cheer up.
Ok, the whole “swine flu” topic is on everyone’s lips (good one) and I think it’s reaching a point where we need to be more educated on the topic. Let’s get through that, then we’ll chat about these recent local cases. A friend of mine, Wilfred Ikipedia, filled me in on the vibe. check it […]
Quick thinking. Good. Pass. [thanks nick] BREAKING NEWS : Britain orders 32 million Swine flu face masks. CLICK HERE.
Wow, I certainly hope that this doesn’t effect our local tequila supplies. Remember when that happened a few years back? Suddenly there was no tequila in town. In fact, there was a global tequila shortage if I remember correctly. Hectique! Anyway, you may have heard about the Swine Flu outbreak all over the US. From […]
Good. 8/10. [thanks everyone that sent this]
These pics came in many different forms. Some of them came with the headline “Birtish Lions Have Arrived” and some read “Brakpan Lion.” Call it what you what, it’s damn funny. Dangerous? Not so much It’s Friday, my friends – and don’t you forget it!
Andy Skinstad has an acute sense of what I enjoy. That is why he sent me this video, showing a chameleon walking over a range of Ray Ban Wayfarers . A chameleon flirts with Seth’s shazzles. Obviously I was quite pleased that they included a red pair like mine in the experiment! Although […]
Like Kim Jong il , I do enjoy mass crowd formations and visual displays, using the likes of military armies and gymnasts. I have, however, never seen it done by sheep. Not in the day, nor at night! This will blow your mind: You like that? Amazing, just when you thought you knew […]
Apart from glorious photo’s and stories about the brave firemen, another concern mentioned on the various blogs and Twitters following the recent Table Mountain fire , was the plight of the wildlife. The SPCA has been involved: Wildlife is the main casualty of the fires on Table Mountain – and the SPCA has had […]
