Why Men Die First...

Maybe I'll do some Australian Studies. Does that exist? I already had American Studies and will have Canadian Studies soon. I'm a real man of the world these days.

Is it hard to migrate to Australia? Cuz I had my heart set on Canada, but the immigration laws there are just ridiculous. Besides, The Netherlands is a highly superior country anyway.

Perhaps I'll go to Sweden. That's one of the best places to live. If you don't mind the suicides. Or the language.

Aussieland is a great place to live. We dont have large predators, you might die from a small insect bite though..

I just saw a special on the jellyfish near Queensland. Two scientist dived near a jelly fish, the man got stung on his lip (the only exposed part of his body) and as the lady was removing her glove a broken tentacle touched her thumb and she was in unbearable pain for 2 weeks and the dude was in pain for a few days.

not much skinny dipping down there, I'm guessing

Ahh the infamous Box Jellyfish (see we even gift wrap them too)..*giggles*

One of the privileges of being Australian is getting to share this wide brown land of ours with some of the world's most painful and poisonous creatures. Nine of the world's 10 most poisonous snakes are Australian, and the world's deadliest spider, the Sydney Funnel Web. Our spiders out-perform the best biters from anywhere around the globe and, when it comes to causing pain, even the cute platypus produces one of the most excruciating venoms known.

Then we have Blue Ring Octopus, Cone shellfish, goannas, cassowary and emus, salt water crocodiles, sharks, dingoes, platypus, and even the kangaroo is deadly.

Wanna come visit? Just check under the dunny seat before you sit down cuz you never know if a Red back Spider is lurking underneath.. [img]eek.gif[/img]
