The world around us backyard killers

[dobermanmick]

Saturday night 6:30 pm on 7 Brisbane !
Heres what the tv guide has to say :

Think twice next time you step out of your back door and go prepared. Lurking in backyards across Australia are creatures that can kill - from deadly snakes and spiders to bees and even crocodiles.

 

[Dicco]

They always have to make everything seem so dangerous.

But everything is, only last night I received what thankfully turned out not to be a life threatening paper cut and don't get me started on high level cupboard doors.

 

[Menagerie]

I should be paid danger money then Boa, all this office work is placing me in constant danger of the horrid paper cut.

 

[OuZo]

Talk to me when you've had a cardboard cut kids :lol:

 

[Retic]

Nobody like a show off.

 

[OuZo]

lol sorry...I work in a doctors surgery and those files always get me

 

[Menagerie]

oh yeah ouch, I've done that before, or a carpet burn when you pull the red tape too fast off the roll for the files Ouch...

 

[Stevo]

Well im flat outa luck then cause im a butcher (bloody paper cut girlies)

 

[herptrader]

IMHO shows like this really do add to the "the only good snake is a dead snake mentality" and it would not matter if the show itself praised the value and importance of animals in question. The damage is already done by the hype and marketing.

Oh PLEASE come to my work!!
My Mum wants me to quit before I do any serious damage and can't give her grand kids!! lol
But unfortunately, computers come in heavy boxes.
Most of the time I can get around it by pushing/dragging the across the carpet. But yesterday the boxes were 90kg and were a bit of a bugger to move

I used to have lovebirds. The Peachies are the worst, little buggers. When you have to catch them up for any reason, I swear they can dislocate their necks and rotate their heads - a la the Exorcist style - and then sink that ivory fang into either the webbing betwixt your fingers, or the little fleshy bit on the edge of your fingernail.
