In what sounds like the plot to a Shel Silverstein poem being written on an LSD bender, five half naked men were caught on surveillance video tossing three crocodiles into a school administration office at 5am in the Australian Northern Territories town of Humpty Doo. In other words, another average day in the Outback.
The men ransacked the office, apparently grabbed nothing at all except a computer screen, and ran off, but not before locking the crocodiles in the office so they would greet employees later that morning.
This happened at Taminmin College, a small secondary school that serves grades 7-12 in the tiny, rural, desert community of 8,700. Their website is currently making no mention of the shenanigans or worldwide fame, as apparently viral marketing isn't taught at the school.
Police have no concrete motivation behind the crime, because sometimes there is no motivation. Sometimes there's just Australia.
In case you're wondering, no one has any solid proof how the town got its name. Some claim its from World War One slang, others from Aboriginal language terms, and yet others say it's based on a colloquialism. No one knows for certain, not even the town officials.
How does that even happen? I assume everyone in the desert oasis town is huffing bath salts or in the throes of heat stroke. At some point you just have to accept crazy happens.
