As David from 27b/6 is wont to say: (In Australia) "... practically every living creature can kill you in under three minutes. Our primary spoken language is screaming".
As a non-Australian, big spiders don't bother me. Cockroaches on the other hand...
Well, I was thinking more of, say, the estaurine crocodile, white shark, box jellyfish, taipan, funnel-web spider, red back spider, blue-ringed octopus, stone fish, brown snake, banded sea krait, &c. &c. &c.
I have to say, I'd rather have a 20-foot crocodile in my back yard, than a 1-foot spider.
Me too.
Yep. At least you can see the crocodile and can stay away from it. Roaches though? Those fuckers scurry all over the place and you don't see them until they start crawling on you...
Then again, no cockroach has ever jumped out of the water and pulled someone under, to drown and then get all soft and rotted and delicious.
