(January 2007, Australia) A 25-year-old Brisbane man came frightfully close
to literally sucking himself down the drain of the gene pool! When flash
floods turned Brisbane streets into raging rivers, this one thought it
would be fun to catch a wave on his surfboard. Fun was fun, until his foot
wedged in a storm drain and he was sucked down.
After a bumpy and winding three kilometer ride through the storm sewer, he
popped out in a creek, relatively unscathed. The young man who found the
lucky survivor had this advice for those thinking to emulate the surfer's
adventure: "Never surf on a flooded street."
