To cope, she tried to make a small, positive gesture in the region whenever she could. This past weekend, with a similar goal in mind, Curry Tweeted:

Three Swedish tourists experienced quite a surprise while swimming in a national park in Australia - a crocodile leaping from rocks and landing on one of them.

Crocodile Jumps Onto Tourist

Felix Andersson, Jakob Hellberg and Ulrik Bergsland were testing a new underwater camera when they spotted the creature and moved in for a closer look.

The well-disguised, calm crocodile suddenly launched itself from rocks in the Litchfield National Park, landing on Andersson, who was fortunately unhurt.

Unlike yesterday's hilarious video of the eagle snatching a kid, this does not appear to be a hoax ... although you never know on the Internet these days.

Veteran ABC News reporter and political correspondent Sam Donaldson got arrested for DUI this month in Delaware. Bet you didn't see that coming!

According to law enforcement, the 78-year-old was pulled over after he had driven onto the shoulder of the road. Officers detected the presence of alcohol.

Police performed a field sobriety test on Sam. He tanked.

Donaldson was arrested for DUI and was taken to a nearby station where he was booked and "released to an adult pending his appearance in court."

He was said to be very cooperative during the incident. That's nice at least. No word if Sam had been hanging out with Diane Sawyer drunk beforehand.

Westboro Baptist Church and specifically spokeswoman Shirley Phelps-Roper have been besieged by trolls from the notorious hacktivist group Anonymous.

After WBC reprehensibly announced plans to picket a vigil for the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, Anonymous retaliated hardcore.

Shirley Phelps-Roper so far is bearing the brunt of the group's efforts.

In a video posted to Vimeo by Anonymous, the group vowed payback:

"We will not allow you to corrupt the minds of America with your seeds of hatred. We will not allow you to inspire aggression to the social factions which you deem inferior."

"We will render you obsolete. We will destroy you. We are coming."

A Nevada loner left $7.4 million to a long-lost cousin who was his sole heir, according to reports ... and weirder still, the money was all in gold coins.

Walter Samaszko Jr., who neighbors described as a loner, passed away this summer, and medical examiners were shocked to find a small fortune.

In ammunition boxes, he amassed $7.4 million in gold coins.

The man had no close relatives, and the courts struggled to find his heir. Thanks to an old funeral document from the 1960s, they were able to locate a cousin in San Francisco.

Arlene Magdanz had not spoken to Samaszko in more than a year, but is now the sole inheritor of his millions ... which she may want to put in a bank. Just a thought.
