And Adelaide, where I lived, is some 1300km from Sydney... the chances aren't great I'd know some random friend of a Wisconsinite living in Sydney...
And really, now, the Crocodile Hunter is dead. It was tragic and horrible and very sad, but people can really stop using him as a stereotype for all Aussies now...

I had someone ask me a similar, first they asked for permission if he could ask if NYC, I told him please don't, I don't live near NYC and I don't know anyone from NYC.And then they were like "yeah you
might know him." and I told him that America is a pretty big country I wouldn't know him. Then asked if I knew this guy and the answer came back a flat "no." I admit I admired the his optimism; the odds alone I would know this guy would come out to be like one out of ~ three hundred million.
