The Matter of Where.

Ozan said:

So, I was speaking with someone here at work (a client), and we got to talking about how neither of us were from Texas. She was from Vietnam, I was from California. She, delving deeper, asked why I came to Texas. I told her "To find a job. Been here for about a year now, thinking about moving on."

At that point she said I am a pretty smart guy, so she suggested I move to VIETNAM and get married. I'm sure she had someone in mind when she said that...

Anyways, still looking at Virginia. Maybe Maryland.))

World's deadliest is a frog... which lives in South america, you at least don't have to worry about that. Though, you have frogs that eat crops, causing more financial burdens for the economy than the deadly poison dart frog. How fun...

Here's a list, enjoy!


Things in Australia that Will Kill You

Everything. No, seriously: Everything.

First there's the wildlife: If something appears to be cute and harmless in Australia, then we promise you - it has only evolved that way to lure you close enough for the thousands of ravenous, prehensile blade-tongues to descended upon you.

Then there's the Geography: Consisting mostly of arid, dry desert, (populated by over 100 venomous species of snake,) the harsh local climate is peppered with small, livable areas presumably just to lull human beings into a false sense of security.

Ah, but the tropical beaches, you say! Surely the paradise on Earth that is the Australian beach makes up for an entire continent of biological weapons. And it's true: Australia is known for having some of the best beaches in the world...all you have to worry about are the Saltwater Crocs, Great White Sharks, poisonous Stonefish, or being stung by the Box Jellyfish: The deadliest and most painful sting of any Jellyfish species in the world.

Your best bet is just to stay in the city then, right? Enjoy the local culture; go visit the capital of Canberra, or visit beautiful Sydney and see the wonder of the Opera house. And that's totally safe: Just remember to wear protective clothing, stay in well travelled areas, always know the nearest path to a hospital, and just generally try not to exist - because Australia is also home to over 280 species of poisonous spider, including that aforementioned Sydney Funnel Web Spider. What, did you think it was just a name? No, it lives in cities, in garages, in tool sheds and houses - it even swims. IT fluffING SWIMS.

Seriously: Everything in Australia evolved solely to kill everything else in Australia - and you show up with your soft, unarmored skin, tiny, rounded teeth, and ridiculously non-poisonous spit and expect a vacation?

You just walked into Mother Nature's Thunderdome, friend. And in this analogy, you're not Max; you're the dead retard.
Things in Australia that Will Not Kill You

I'm surprised not one of you have even mentioned sharks, dingoes or Ivan Milat and the backpacker murderers.

The list of things that want to kill you goes on, even our serial killers target unwary tourists.

Sharks would affect me more so, but still not much. Serial killers, let them try. I'm a fluffing juggernaut! >8O))

A dingo will eat your baby though. No joke.

Best way to tell if someone is from Australia. Mention babies and dingos in the same sentence. Then whoever says it actually happened is from Friggin Australia.))
