Where's Steve Irwin when you need him?

I ran across this picture from our trip to Australia last year, and the conversation that went with the sighting of this beast was quite laughable.. BZ: " Hey babe, look at that...it's a transistor lizard."
NZ: "Uhm, don't you mean, Monitor lizard?"

Uhm, yeah, isn't that what I said? LOL. Transistor, Monitor, all the same thing..right?

Just after our sighting, an Aussie guy rides by on his bike to see what we silly Americans are staring at, and says, " Ah, that's nothing mate, those suckas grow to be about 2 metres long!"
