I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
And I think that if you want to know about the most poisonous anything, it's probably in Australia.
Not at all. It's just as often in the waters surrounding Australia. (DIVERSITY - WE HAS IT!)

Right - the blue spotted octopus and the cuttlefish. And sea snakes.
So ... if I should ever travel to Australia, should I invest in a wide range of antivenins?

And the stonefish (though by no means limited to Australia). And the box jellyfish, which is likely the most venomous creature of all.
So ... if I should ever travel to Australia, should I invest in a wide range of antivenins?
It's generally pretty easy to avoid getting bitten or stung by any of our venomous critters (except possibly the stonefish). Don't pick stuff up, watch where you step, wear decent shoes and trousers when in the bush. Don't swim in northern waters during jellyfish season, and take vinegar with you if you do. Basically, you're more likely to be killed by an animal in the US than here. Wait, scratch that. Americans are more likely to be killed in America than Australians are in Australia. Tourists do have a distressing habit of swimming in northern waterholes without regard for croc warning signs. (Don't do that either, if you visit.)
And if you hit Canberra, visit the Reptile Centre. They have an inland taipan.

Is she, perhaps, waiting for you to break out the six-piece Limoges place setting?
She already won't eat out of people food dishes. So you can see the spot this puts her in.
Basically she will eat (some) things that are handed to her, I guess because it's the only way to be sure.
One thing's for sure. Somebody did a number on her, big time. And I'd like to kick their teeth in.

Americans are more likely to be killed in America than Australians are in Australia.
Are Australians less likely to poke poisonous things with sticks?

I fear for BillyTea. When the zombies attack, I fear his spicey brains will be a prime target. Until then, I will bask in his enlightenment.

They'll have to get through all the poisonous stuff first. And if anywhere has things poisonous to affect zombies...

Awww, man, Toola the otter who fostered pups for years at Monterey Bay Aquarium died.
We saw her taking care of one of her latest charges when we last visited.
Kind of a sniff inducing story. Would make a good Pixar movie.
