mk05 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Aaaaand then I decided not to. http://www.buzzfeed.com/simoncrerar/pictures-that-prove-australia-is-the-craziest Seriously, WTF. Why do you have centipedes that look like the thing from Prometheus. I'm going to have nightmares. As another so succinctly concluded, "Taking the nope train to f*ckthatville."

Haha It's a small price to pay for livin' in paradise! From my mobile phone
PapaDisco Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Ha! Stumbled on the same thing! We seriously need to ring fence that place! The rest of the world is no match!
PigFish Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 I could use some of these for my neighbor! Do you export?
mk05 Posted March 27, 2014 Author Posted March 27, 2014 I could use some of these for my neighbor! Do you export? LOL. I would pass out if I turned the bathroom light on and saw one of those things gliding around the floor. Although, PigFish may be on to something here. I'd love to let loose one of those in smallclub's bathtub. Stick a wireless GoPro on the ceiling and watch him just lose his sh*t. LOL. That would make my day. 2
Skyfall Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Can you imagine waking up and that hell spawn is crawling on you???

Why do you have centipedes that look like the thing from Prometheus. I'm going to have nightmares. As another so succinctly concluded, "Taking the nope train to f*ckthatville." There are two important things I've taken away from that buzzfeed article: In #1, the snake is not what I'm concerned about...it's the freaking man-sized black vampire creature sticking out of it!! Flying fox?! More like, Dracula reincarnate! To all the others...just eff snakes....eff em.
cigcars Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 I know it's not called the wonderful Land of Oz for nothing - let alone because our beloved cigar Czar is there! But still, along with the fact that Australia has some insect and wildlife that can LOOK at ya and kill ya! - and as one American comedian put it, there are planets in our solar system closer to us than Australia!! - at my age and along with how bad I've beat my body through the years I'd never survive the trip. So I'll just read and dream about your Great Barrier Reef and pristine lovely cities! That'll have to suffice for me!
Fuzz AI Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Oh pish posh. It ain't that bad. Flying foxes are pretty gentle and will eat right out of your hand. The only people worried about flying foxes are fruit growers, as flying foxes only eat fruit and pollen. I'll admit, the native fauna here are pretty weird and some are downright scary, but you get used to it after a while.
Munts Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Oh pish posh. It ain't that bad. Flying foxes are pretty gentle and will eat right out of your hand. Except if they bite you and you get the deadly Australian bat lyssavirus!!!
mk05 Posted March 27, 2014 Author Posted March 27, 2014 Oh pish posh. It ain't that bad. Flying foxes are pretty gentle and will eat right out of your hand. Are you talking about batman who's being eaten in the first pic?
CaptainQuintero Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Can we have a 4th quality standard from Czar? PE HQ PSP CFCC -checked for creepy crawlies!! Imagine opening a nice box of cigars only to have a box jellyfish fly out and get you! 1
Fuzz AI Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Except if they bite you and you get the deadly Australian bat lyssavirus!!! True, but there have only been 3 confirmed fatalities from ABLV since its discovery in the 90's. And in one of the cases, the woman declined treatment after the suspected exposure.
Habana Mike Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Well, we went and lived to tell the tale. My wife actually got bit by a centipede similar to the one in the OP though it was on Hawaii, not OZ. Guess both islands share come similar traits though one is a 'little bit' larger than the other

Fuzz AI Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Your map is missing the one key area. For Australians, the one that will kill us on this map resides in the ACT...
mk05 Posted April 3, 2014 Author Posted April 3, 2014 Thought about going to Australia ...but then I saw this crap. This is #1 example of why you need to invest in a nice pair of noise-canceling headphones. All jokes aside, check out 1:50 mark where the dad is totally waiting to pick his kid up like Simba. Messed up his timing and failed though. haha Still trying to figure out if bottom left is Arsenio Hall.
AndrewNR Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 You keep them long enough as pets you can feed them adult mice.. Mind you I hate them.. Many occasions I've been enjoying an evening cigar under the verandah and one anywhere from 4-10in will all of a sudden be running around my feet. They're the only thing I actually kill. Spiders? I only relocate them if the Mrs complains, don't kill them. Snakes? I have one as a pet, scarcely see them wild and they don't want to be near you anyway. These kamikaze *******ers? I take no prisoners. I don't want my ankle or my cat giving me the you had one ******* Job stare..
