you know, I always wondered what the real story was behind Elaine's famous party line "Maybe the dingo ate your baby". I had heard rumors of the australian news story it was based on...but lo and behold from today's CNN pages comes the following
"Dingo Drags Baby from Tent on Australian Island" http://customnews.cnn.com/cnews/pna.show_story?p_art_id=2464908&p_section_name=alt
thought other Seinfeld fans would get a kick out this.

According to The Telegraph the baby survived. Of course if you _want_ dead-baby stories they can be provided.

Great story for Seinfeld fans.
==========================================
What I found really funny was the CNN banner that says...
The story below was selected from CNN Custom News
- a new personalized service that delivers only the
news that's important to YOU.How many people found wild Dingo dragging of an Australian baby IMPORTANT!!!!! Jounalism!!!! Jeesh.!!!! =========================================================
Don't be stupid, this was already a big deal in World Wide News. Meryl Streep did a move about this. You are very late.
Cheers, Steve
Don't be so quick to insult, Steve. Colin was referring to a very recent article about a dingo attack that happened yesterday. The article also refers to the 1981 incident that spawned the Meryl Streep movie and thusly, Elaine's Dingo/baby comment in "The Stranded". ------------------------------------------ [email] (Hammer nail here--> <-- for a new monitor.)
Oops!
How many dingoes eat babies? Who knew?
I apologize for the hasty words earlier.
Heard a radio commercial for all of you whiners who think the show stinks:
Announcer says: Don't miss tonight's new episode of Seinfeld! It may stink but there are only (insert number) left!
CHeers,

No dont apoligize, it was a serious query. I mean despite the recent attack in Australia, most sensible or skeptic Australians dont believe the story of the dingo eating the baby. They believe Azaria Chamberlain was murdered by her Mother, and that dingo was a scapegoat for this vicious crime. We will never know the actual truth though....
On Fri, 17 Apr 1998 11:44:50 +0930, Jonathan Agar regurgitated:
well, you're a bit behind too. its generally accepted today that Lindy Chamberlain *was* telling the truth that the dingo dragged her baby away during the night.
The recent occurence on Fraser Island where the same thing happenned (but the parents managed to wrench the baby from the dingo's hold) only re-inforces the likelihood that Chamberlain was telling the truth.
It is the biggest legal controversy Australia had ever known. As an Australian, the number of people who have asked me since I moved to Canada to say Elaine's famous (and originally Lindy Chamberlain) line has number in the hundreds.
And of course "That's not a knife..... THIS is a knife!"
