My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?

Crocs eating Chinese tourists?.... Oh I don't know, might pay to watch that myself - having had MIL over for the past month, could quite happily send her along with the Long Haired General!!

It isn't a zoo, it's a farm where the beasts are bred for their meat, skins and etc. BTW, their meat is delicious.
