His previous discoveries taken into account, the commission board of Discovery Channel had a meeting about the future of our dear-loved pet-friend Link the Crocodile Hunter.

"It is a rather popular program, we can't deny that," the producer said.
"But he is indeed into some very dangerous things. Handling snakes and all," the medical supervisor pronounced, and he shook his head.
"I believe we should continue the program. Link is well aware of the risks he is taking, and he's careful enough," the director said, and he waited for the others to nod in agreement. The meeting was announced closed, and all went out of the room, save for the medical supervisor, who staid sitting in his chair, muttering: "How does he do it? Handling the most dangerous animals in the world, without be harmed even once? How does he do it?"

**Meanwhile in the the desert of Egypt**

"We have to be very careful now. These scorpions are known to act viciously and amazin'ly fast."

*Link crawls up a dune, keeping his eye on the black scorpion which is only a few feet away from him*

"This scorpion here is one of the most lethal beings in the world. Getting stung by it almost always resolves in death, in only a matter or minures. Good thing I'm so careful."

*Link moves in a bit closer*

Cameraman: "Link, watch out, it has spotted you!"

"I'll be fine, mate. Just stick to the camerawork will ya!"

*scorpion attacks Link*

"OUCH! It has stung me! I'm dying! I'm dying!"

*Link faints*

**At the Discovery Channel Headquarters**

"This time he has gone too far!" The man of the insurance company was white hot, and very angry. "I know he is very careful, but this was very dangerous. He almost died back there."
"But the figures.. the facts.. the numbers," the producer muttered. "It's a success. People have been emailing us, congratulating us with the fact we managed to be more successful and dangerous than Jackass!"
"That's no reason at all for someone to die!" the medical supervisor proclamed, and they all watched the director, who slowly arose from his leather seat, and said:
"I agree with the majority of you. It has indeed become too dangerous for Link to handle wild animals anymore. We'll have to decide what we will do with him. He'll be recovering from his sting for two weeks, so that gives us at least some time to make up our minds.

**TUNE IN NEXT TIME TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS TO LINK!**
