I didn't have a CLUE as to the 2x4 stretchers, but other than that (oh, and the snakes, I saw them on the discovery channel years ago; fakes), I totally believed you, lol. You guys crack me up . I don't mind laughing at myself either, so well done, guys! But if you want REAL humor, see this: ....And Slayer has assured us he can't be easily tricked now! And my response: Yep that WAS funny

Actually most people consider most of our animals cute and cuddly but up close and personal most of them are deadly. Koalas can be extremely vicious and their claws are extremely sharp. Kangaroos look cute and cuddly but they have a front claw on their toe to give them leverage to bound and when they attack they stand on their tail and kick for the stomach as they do when they are fighting each other during mating season but a human stomach is not as strong as a kangas and so they disembowel you. Platypi are highly poisonous but only if you try to pick it up and get spiked by the spur. There are 18 wheelers that have hit wombats and come off the worse for it and wombats are also vicious.
As to the komodo dragon thing, that is not unsurprising, komodos attack humans and once they have the scent they will keep hunting until they have killed the person or until it is killed.

This thread took off since I was last here... Firstly I have to apologise a little bit to Slayer and anyone else I got with the drop bear thing... It's an Aussie tradition, I am honour bound to do it. Sorry. Hitting a wombat at high speed is like hitting a stump, they're stocky little buggers. I hit a roo at 80k's once and it wrote my car off... but we were lucky it didn't come through the windscreen because once they're in the cabin they thrash and kick and those huge powerful hind legs will smash you up pretty badly. And like BW says, they can open you up with a two-legged kick to the abdomen. Then there's Cassowaries which have a big horny fin on their head and will slash you open with their claws, they basically look like an Emu only a bit smaller, and coloured blue, black and red. A big flightless bird that looks more like a dinosaur. Australia's a big country and there's not many Australians to fill it up, so there's a lot of talk about theundiscovered wildlife in the bush. For example, the Queensland Tiger has been in news a bit lately, killing livestock out back. But no-one has ever caught one, although there has been some interesting video taken... Not to mention the yowies and bunyips, but we won't go into that! In that video, the coneshell... ugh, those things used to scare the semprini out of me as a kid. I was always terrified to pick up shells of that shape in case I'd get stung and drop dead. And my cousin stood on a Stonefish when he was 16 and he reckons that it felt like his whole leg was on fire for 3 days and the docs at the hospital were pumping him full of morphine to no effect whatsoever... Scary things, too many stories! I love being Australian

Cassowaries are the bad tempered cousins of the raptor, evil beggars! There is a story where a guy got killed when one jumped up and slashed his carotid artery. Stonefish are nasty although if you can keep CPR going for long enough then the venom passes out of the body so it isn't too bad. The coneshell is something like ten times more toxic than the inland taipan.
The drop bear thing is a necessary evil for Australians, we even had an ad about it a while ago.
I prefer coopers.
