It’s also one of the most sparsely populated. Three times as many people live in the UK than the entirety of the country, mainly as the vast majority of it is inhospitable desert in the outback.
But to bring the tone back down - “that’s not a knife! THIS is a knife!”

It was funny, but literally my second to last they in Brisbane, was taking a water taxi from Victoria Point to Russel Island and a lady told me about the poisonous spiders on Russel Island. I was a bit annoyed, in a silly way, at my host at the house I stayed at on the Island for failing to tell me about that.
America has some of our own dangerous animals sure, but nothing compared to Australia. The salt water crocks would scare the shit out of me the most. I don't see how anyone lives on the coast in the North where they live.
I cant remember the name of their beach snake, but they have one that does not run away, very poisonous and deadly, and that fucker will chase your ass down.

Every one of your threads has a big grammatical error in the title, had to say it.

If he's confused, he can go to the zoo and ask the resident kangaroo. But there might be a Tasmanian devil in the details.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I have a house in Melbourne.
