What's a danger noodle? Why a snake of course!
The phrase “Only in Australia” keeps heading in crazier directions.
The latest example is a guy taking his pet bird and snake for a walk along a suburban street.
Because why not right?
The pet outing was captured by Tik Tok user hayleyroben as she sat in a car with friends.
The footage shows the guy walking in thongs - important for any ’only in Australia’ moment - with a yellow bird on his shoulder and a snake in his hand.
And he looks like he’s having the time of his life, dancing and singing along to some song real or imagined. The bird is balancing expertly and it’s hard to tell what the snake is thinking, it’s just hanging there like a random length of rope.
We hear “Are you kidding me!” amidst lots of laughter.
The guy then causally swaps the snake to his other hand, and pulls out his phone.
And then - gasp - he’s now at a crosswalk and needs to press the button to make the lights change, but his hands are full.
So he puts the snake on the ground.
“You’re joking,” the woman filming exclaims.
Then laughter again as the guy picks up his snake and resumes dancing.
Watch it here: (Language warning)

“Surely that’s illegal,” is the question on their mind.
Maybe it is.
One person commented, “Please don’t think it’s okay to handle a poor danger noodle like this!!”
And now “danger noodle” is the only thing we’ll be thinking when we next see a snake!

So it turns out that everyone except Nigella Lawson has been saying the word "microwave" wrong. Or was it the other way around?
Lawson's pronunciation of "microwave" is possibly one of the strangest things I have seen this week. But at the same time though it is also one of the GREATEST things to grace my screen this week!
In the latest episode of her cooking show "Cook, Eat, Repeat" Lawson can be seen showing us how to make a brown butter colcannon. And just in case you are wondering what exactly colcannon is it is simply vegetable-filled mashed potato.
In the process of mashing the ingredients, Lawson can be seen picking up a jug of milk before going on to say "I still need a bit of milk, full fat, which I’ve warmed in the microwave".
But hold it right there, rewind 10 seconds and listen again, Lawson instead calls the microwave a "mee-crow-wah-vay".
And cue the internet blowing up…
I actually laughed out loud. Catch me never pronouncing microwave correctly again pic.twitter.com/lpJx9dk1qw

Nigella Lawson just pronounced Microwave as ‘Meekro-Warvay’ so I guess that’s the only way to say it from now on.

Did I dream @Nigella_Lawson’s pronunciation of microwave there? #CookEatRepeat

So how old were you when you realised it's not actually called a #microwave, it's a meecro-wahvey #NigellaLawson #CookEatRepeat pic.twitter.com/SHb9Ia5uhp

Now before you go and start using Lawson’s new pronunciation she later took to Twitter to set the record straight, "apparently" it was all in jest.
Well, I do say it like that, but not because I think that’s how it’s actually pronounced

A recent BCF advertisement has caused a bit of controversy online with a man eating a bat-burger while enjoying some outdoor activities.
The reference seems to be in relation to the supposed origins of the coronavirus pandemic and has received backlash online for being offensive to Chinese culture.

Matt Wright, star of National Geographic's Outback Wrangler, has posted on his Instagram @mattwright, a terrifying video, pushing a croc out of the way with his hand as he films with the other!
"Dangerous work," Matt wrote in the caption, "The hazards of working in northern Australia."
"We're just trying to get a few logs out of the water here. Having a bit of a hard time, we've got a little friend who's come and visited us," Matt says in the video as he turns the camera to reveal the crocodile!
"A bit of a pain in the arse having a crocodile around."
Watch the video below:
Matt's mate Tommy goes on to distract the croc while Matt describes his rope pulley system for moving trees that fell during a cyclone. Which sounds like a normal day for everyone, right?
The top comment on the post sums up the video perfectly, "This is the most Australian thing I've watched."
Needless to say, we must point out, don't try this at home!
The NT Government has some great resources on crocodile safety, "Be Crocwise": http://nt.gov.au/crocwise
