You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I AM NOT CLICKING ANY LINKS YOU PEOPLE POST.

Yeah, good choice. gaaaaame with uuuuus

Hubby wanted me to say that when he lived in Hawaii in the 70s, his mother once thought a spider on the wall was a clock. Hubby was also once caught in a spider web that was strung between two banana trees. He was 11 at the time, but still.

Yep, the freaky big spiders are generally tropical beasties. And can have a legspan that would cover a dinner plate.

See, I like spiders when they DON'T COME FROM THE FREAKY CONTINENT OF FREAKY FREAKASSED FREAK SPIDERS.

I feel maligned. We're also the freaky continent of freaky freakarsed freak snakes, lizards, monotremes, marsupials, and flightless birds: [link]

(This one's ok, Jilli!)

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

He's now trying to back pedal by saying it's worth it to go to Hawaii because of the ferns "but beware of the pigs."
Why did the old country song "your cheating heart" come to mind when you wrote that? Doesn't he know sheep are better (according to NoiseDesign)??

Fucker clicks the spider link and asks me to look at his screen. HATE HIM!

I also took the time to make sure I blew one of the pictures up to full screen size.

Better for what, she asked, say no more say no more.

I think it's the feral pigs that like to attack people that Hubby was thinking of. The north shore of the Big Island in the 70s sounds like a perfect place for a pre-adolescent boy, something to kill or eat you around every corner! (He has a scar on his side from when he got sideswiped by a tiger shark when he was out in the surf annoying the local wildlife. How he survived to adulthood I do not know.)

He was raised by Holtz?

He wants to know what the most psychotropic thing is in Australia. We've got jimson and peyote and such here in Utah, and he figures God must have been tripping on something to create Australia. He mentioned echidnas in his list of thingies, but I warned him not to maligned the echidna.

Oddly enough, this is one area of natural history in which you would have better luck with one of my brothers. There is an alkaloid substance, pituri, used by the Aborigines prior to European sttlement.

So far, Echidnas have only been demonstrated to produce a euphoric effect in, well, me.
