THE SPIRIT OF THE ANGLOSPHERE
Woman rides croc to rescue man (The Age, October 11th, 2004)
A 60-year-old woman jumped on the back of a four-metre crocodile as it dragged a man from his tent near a beach in far north Queensland.The crocodile let go of the man but then turned on the woman, pulling her towards the water before another person shot dead the killer reptile, said wildlife officers.
Authorities said the two were lucky to survive the dramatic attack, which took place at 4am (AEST) today as they slept at Kalpower Holding at Bathurst Bay, nearly 300km north-west of Cairns and near Lakefield National Park.
Canadian women used to jump on grizzly bears to save their men all the time, but since postmodern secular statism took hold, they just nag us about housework.
Shades of Pecos Bill and the tornado!

She nags also, so I guess you could call her multi-dimensional.
