What Readers Think |
| For your non-metric readers, a 3 meter boat would be a smidgen under 10ft, and 500 kg should be over 1100 lbs. I own an 11.5 ft tinny and the only way it would be rated for 3 adults would be if they were adult spider monkeys! Harley - Friday, Jan 19 |
| The numbers just don't add up! The story clearly says George, three friends and one boy were on board, for a total of 5 people. It says George and one of the men died, as did the boy, which leaves only 2 people. It then states that men were rescued. Where did the other man come from? If the story is true, the numbers most definitely can't be right. Devcom - Wednesday, Jan 17 |
These Aussies were thinking ahead. They evidently knew they were such terrible shooters that they wouldn't need any additional room for ducks in the already overcrowded boat.okie - Tuesday, April 04 at 18:37:54 PDT |

Mundane stupidity, but Darwinesque nonetheless. Steve - Wednesday, April 05 at 11:31:39 PDT |

Having seen these kinds of city people shooting, I can honestly say you do not want to be anywhere near them. These blokes will let off five or six shots at a duck, often without hitting it. Anything that moves is a target.
PS: the mother of the child said, "It was his first time out on a trip with his father, a bit of an adventure."
Pity the mother kept him home until he was 7. Tom Croft - Wednesday, April 05 at 15:21:42 PDT |

The relatives of the drowned morons are apparently going to sue the police for stopping the search that evening in order to assist the survivors of a light plane crash. A Melbourneite - Sunday, April 16 at 04:16:16 PDT |

Ducks everywhere breathe a sigh of relief as would-be assassins lose to their own lack of buoyancy. Fly onward, brothers! Fly onward knowing that your pain is mirrored in those two-legged scourges that send you reeling from the sky. Donald - Monday, April 17 at 19:45:47 PDT |

Just to clear up any confusion 1 round on 12g duckshot weighs exactly 53grams. I weighed one. Thats 470 rounds of ammunition each. They're bloody great big ducks down here! and you need a few extras to teach the greenies a lesson
