Australia is on fire. Literally, in some places. Australia is underwater. Literally, in some places. Meanwhile, in the NT, another example of how dangerous the average day can be in Australia was seen once again when a shark and a crocodile fought over a chicken for lunch. This, of course, is not new, has been seen before and general it is agreed that the shark will lose, unless there is a human in the water in which case lunch will just 'taste like chicken'.

Poisonous spiders? Check. Poisonous snakes? Check. Dropbears? Check. Sharks AND crocs in the river. Right. I'm out.

    We love Florida. But, it's very dangerous. Beautiful ocean but it's full of horrible sharks. Many people dieing of Shark attack. And Crocodile attack. Which, we don't call them Crocodile. We call them Alligator -- very special type of Crocodile. If you can tell the difference, you're much too close!

    Build a net to keep the sharks out. Problem solved. Credit me later.

      You said it. Simply put, nets work and nets save lives. Australia, so famous for their beautiful beaches. They have the net, you go for a swim and the sharks -- of which they have many -- go hungry. And they also have, they call it the barrier. Shark barrier or barrier net. You can call it what you want. Florida, where is the net? Where is the barrier? The sharks come in incredibly fast, they turn to the left. Then to the left or the right, usually it's the left. And start biting everywhere. Tremendous "carnage!"

    Related bit of trivia: Over the past thirty years or so, you're statistically more likely to piss off a Clinton and die under circumstances that the cops/feds deem completely innocent or at least unrelated than you are die by shark.
