    A cyclist was killed when he was allegedly attacked by a giraffe

    I like the way they keep saying allegedly so the giraffe can't sue for libel.

    Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

    I think it's more to do with keeping the possibility of suing/charging the humans if the explanation turns out to be nothing but a tall story!

                            The use of "allegedly" is already a subconscious act by all SA journos.

                              Beware the drop bear...

                              I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.
