Carl expresses doubts about 'social networking'

Crocs are pretty solitary.  Every now and again, we pool forces.  I mean, we herd fish and stuff like that.  But it's not democracy.  It's not even anarchy.  The Keeper says that those words would mean that either no crocs eat or all crocs eat.  No, it's not like that.  If we go on a fishing trip, than the baddest croc gets the first feed. Which makes sense, really.

Reason I'm talking about this, is that humans are weird.  Obviously, that goes without saying to an extent.  No, but they are weird, coz they are 'social' animals.  What that appears to mean is that they like facebook.

Now, I may be a croc, but I know what facebook is.  I have a page after all!  But, the one thing I can't understand, is how can you hunt by facebook?  You gotta wait for stuff.  How you gonna hunt like that.  Let's say your floating in a stinky river with a real munch-on.  So you log on to facebook and you tell it "what's on your mind" (see below): "I gotta munch-on"

Then what happens?  You wait.  Some time later, one of your friends comes back with something witty, like, I dunno.  "Oh, yeh?  Why don't you order a 'Croc Monsieur'?"


Trouble is, it took em so long to think of that joke, the wildebeest I was watching on the riverbank is by now 3 days into its southerly migration.

That's why I have my doubts about this 'social networking'.  One way or another, tools are sposed to make it quicker and easier to get prey.  Seems like a fail to me.

Stay in touch,


Carl
