I understand that the sand snakes are the fifth most dangerous in the whole world, and their venom could stop you in your tracks before you had time to pick up the telephone!

LOL Guys I tell ya I am a lot more likely to die laughing right now than I ever am to encounter a tiger snake in the dunny. Even a six inch one.
Herc you're so right they do hunt in pairs. Actually its the females that are deadlier. They do the hunting while the males lounge back in their burrows and the females drag the kill home. We used to get a lot of deaths just like that till not so long back when we got tarred roads and such. Sort of destroyed their habitat ya know. But boy you gotta watch out in the desert...

And there are crocodiles in most of the public parks, right? I am told you can kill them by feeding them a jar of Vegemite.

Crocs, snakes you name it. I tell ya a girls gotta cammy up and get all the right gear on just to get out of the house. Crocs are carnivores, vegemite don't work on them. Works pretty good on the tourists though. One taste and they all run screaming for the plane home.

Ahhhhhhh a whole thread about my Boooshbaby.
As ER will tell you, I have a bit of an affection (for affection read obsession) for the man. Forget his politics, some of his quotes and photos have made me laugh til I've cried. I may just have to come back with some of my most treasured pics

The locals down in the Columbian jungle told us about a snake there which" es el serpiente ademas peligroso del mundo..." the most dangerous and vicious...! They call it the "ekkice"(X)..., it's about 6 inches long, only bites women, makes 'em swell up most horrible like... and then costs LOTS of MONEY!!! for the rest of yer life...

then they'd laugh like loons, funny as anything!!!

No, but I just realized I went metric. Can someone tell me the difference between a centimeter and an inch?

The species in question does tend to have an inflated ego.

Maybe that's Bush's problem. Overcompensation for perceived inadequacies
