Since I enjoy watching Mythbusters, I thought I would mention that they tested the "myth" that " If you are getting chased by a crocodile, you can escape by running in a zig-zag pattern as crocs cannot turn corners."
I can't find a video of the segment online but they concluded straight or zig zag makes no difference because crocs and alligators are ambush predators and don't chase prey on land.
A summary of the show is on the bottom half of http://kwc.org/mythbusters/2007/01/episode_70_hindenburg_mystery.html
