'Handful' is definitely the right word to describe lots of crocodiles.</p><p></p><p>Marius Trevelean also fell off a waterfall, maybe? It is implausible he would survive, and <em>if</em> he did survive, he would definitely bruise his backside.</p><p></p><p>Theoretically, Marius Trevelean would be English but would live in America.
