you think *you* had a bad day?

Remember that "You Had a Bad Day" song they'd play for each contestant as they got voted off American Idol last season? Well, someone should play it for Taiwanese zoo worker, Chang Po-yu today. From the Associated Press:

Crocodile chomps off zoo worker's arm

TAIPEI, Taiwan - A zoo worker had his forearm reattached Thursday after his colleagues recovered the severed limb from the mouth of a 440-pound Nile crocodile, an official said.

The crocodile severed Chang Po-yu's forearm on Wednesday at the Shaoshan Zoo in the southern city of Kaohsiung when the veterinarian tried to retrieve a tranquilizer dart from the reptile's hide, zoo officials said.

The Liberty Times newspaper said Chang failed to notice the crocodile was not fully anesthetized when he stuck his arm through an iron rail to medicate it.
