Never complaining about a common house spider again. Well, unless it touches me.

[–]XypherFTW 0 points1 point ago

I'm never going to complain about bears, lest Australia spawn a freaking elephant sized bear that can tear steel girders apart with its paws and 16-inch venomous shark-tooth claws :|

[–]callistra 1 point2 points ago

Apparently we used to have mega-fauna that sounds a lot like your description. Not sure if that's true or not, but giant wombats.

[–]XypherFTW 0 points1 point ago

I am NEVER going to Australia. Not even if I win the continent in the lottery. I'll give that shit away on Craigslist

[–]callistra 0 points1 point ago

Awwww, we're lovely people! :)

That is both the cutest thing and longest URL I've seen all day. Well done.

I've had two sugar gliders for about 4 years now. They are the only things that get me away from reddit sometimes but I still love the hell out of them.

[–]MrGameface 2 points3 points ago

What about Australia's Echidna? That thing will fuck you up. Also it's so cute as fuck

[–]ladybetty 1 point2 points ago

I'm hoping to move there in a year or two.

It will be strange coming from NZ, where nothing ever is terrifying.

You guys always overreact to our wildlife. I was born here, and have lived here since 2001, and the only one of those I've seen is the Funnel Web spider, which is just as vulnerable to bug spray as any other spider.

EDIT - realised it sounds like I'm 11. I was born here in 1994 but then we moved to NZ till 2001.

[–]IsAnnieOk 1 point2 points ago

I wouldn't say always, I've seen all those apart from the last one as well as heaps of snakes and other poisonous aquatic creatures like the blue ring octopus.

[–]Gr33ny 1 point2 points ago

sir thank you and Australians won't give you shit. have an upvote

[–]meatbricks 1 point2 points ago

Going camping in Australia; me and my mates have pretty much always gone by "If it's alive, and from Australia, it can kill you". Exaggerated of course but usually brings a chuckle.

Actually it can be octopii or octopuses. Same as cactuses/cactii

[–]El_Cantante 0 points1 point ago

The Oxford English Dictionary says: "The plural form octopi, formed according to rules for some Latin plurals, is incorrect." http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/octopus?q=octopus

And this is another reason I don't like living in America! Even the schools taught me wrong!
