'Stand closer to the rhino' results in grave wound

Posted: January 15, 2013 - 10:19am

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — When do you not listen to the African wildlife expert? When he tells you to stand closer to the rhino.

That suggestion by a South African game park owner resulted in serious injuries to a 24-year-old woman from Johannesburg.

The Beeld newspaper reported Tuesday that Chantal Beyer said the game park owner snapped pictures and suggested that she "stand just a little bit closer" seconds before the attack. Photos show Beyer and her husband only feet away from two rhinos.

The paper said that just after the photo was snapped, the rhino attacked, and its horn penetrated Beyers' chest from behind, resulting in a collapsed lung and broken ribs, the paper said. The Aloe Ridge Hotel and Nature Reserve, where the incident took place, declined to comment Tuesday.

2. Never lick the mixer beaters while they are moving.

Or still attached to mixer or the mixer is still plugged in.

If you have a problem with a hand mixer you don't need to lick the beaters ever.

The Guy got a better picture for them from a still image very moving image.
