I think that there was a chap named Haldane who pushed his thumb onto the spine of a Stonefish. He did it deliberately and then sat there recording his reactions to the venom until he passed out.
It nearly killed him so don't try this one at home

It most certainly is. We knew what we were doing when we shipped those buggers off. I can't help but feel we ought to harness the "Sharks with frickin' lasers" for mil purposes though.

It always amazes me how Aussies can be so descriptive
with such a limited vocabulary! :D

One of our highly fanciable TV presenters stood on a stonefish while filming a segment for her show, and she passed out from the pain. Apparently some local treated the wound with the fluid from the things eyes (a traditional treatment, so I gather) and it helped greatly, but she still got air-ambulanced.

Three local yokels have been injured by a flying fox, FFS, and are being treated for some hellish, lethal virus. Cute, fwuffy widdle possums carry rabies and leptospirosis, amongst Christ knows what else. Even koalas can have chlyamidia, so that's my Friday night down the gurgler...What's that noise at the door? I'll go and look...AAAAAARRGGHH!

This is why I love Africa, atleast we can see the hippos, crocodiles, lions, leopards, buffulo, wildebeest, cheetahs, rhinos and elephants before they maul/eat/mutilate/stomp on us...

Cnuting aussies..

(Can't play cricket either)

Cnnnnnnuuuuuuuuuuts

Well, the USN has fitted dolphins with torpedo-recovery clamps, the idea-thieving bastards, so why not?

The late Peter Mc Carthy put this forward as an explanation for our (usual)sporting prowess, in that the Irish convicts' vocabulary was forced beyond its natural limit by slave labour, withering heat, and sadistic overseers, so that the Australian sportsmen who are descended from them can defeat their opponents simply by swearing at them.

No, no, no, you only have to outrun whoever you're with. Why do you think our sports teams have reserves? You wouldn't last a week here
