Alive. Took up residence in the vent of a ute at my daughters work. Startled her colleague for sure.

A real issue is a bumper snake season this summer. Hearing and reading of many reports of people losing dogs and cats to snake bites this year.

Some lesser known stingers.

We have the grand dog each weekend. I'm careful which park he exercises in due to the amount of snakes around. I'm avoiding the dog parks with longer grass.

The thing about that list is it only has one spider and no snakes.  Which means, snakes and spiders aren't even making the top ten!  Yikes.  Seems like nowhere is safe down there.



Have you ever seen the YT guy that goes by "Coyote Peterson"?  Crocodile Hunter-type personality but his fame is built on intentionally getting stung by things and recording the reactions.

Here he is reacting to creatures on your list, Koko.  The internet never ceases to run out of idiocy.  Water bug looks brutal.

You are correct, IIRC, there was a Top 10 Animals/Instects/Plants that can and will kill you and 9 where Down Under!

Driving on the left is the Devil's path.  Hence the word "sinister" (Latin: left).

Miles are the Devil's distance, designed to introduce chaos in the world.

However, our cultures can unite behind hours.  The proper unit to measure speed time.

True.

But....

I'm...confused now. Our RHS steering wheel is good with God but driving on the left is the devil's path??  I can feel a head-on collision coming on  Undecided

However, our cultures can unite behind hours.  The proper unit to measure speed time.
My brain hurts now  Undecided Grin

Let's talk about spiders.....   Grin
