I woulda flipped them that 25 cents and wished them the best o' luck.

I read somewhere that rattlesnake anti-venom is $20,000 per dose. And you might need up to half a dozen doses, depending on the bite.

You gotta change your attitude now your a homeowner with seizable assets.
Up in MA they have a cute setup where if you can't pay your hospital bill the state will pay it for you. That's because they have a soft spot in their heart for corporations. Of course they will seek repayment from you, with all the power of the state. That's a lot.:borg:

Greatest health system in the world!

At $462, 'Special Services' seems to be an absolute bargain.

Not for the first time, the difference between US and UK date formats caught me out.
I thought it was five months. IE 7th April 2015 to 7th September 2015.

Heh heh, for 5 months that would be a bargain. :)

Man, I hate when that happens.

Griff 01-21-2019 01:35 PM

Well played.

It's Australian. It is therefore capable of killing you without reason or notice.

Tourist picks up deadly blue ringed octopus with bare hands

A shy and tiny, but lethal animal, has once again caused panic after a video uploaded to Reddit showed a tourist holding a blue-ringed octopus in their uncovered hand.

The video was captioned "what a pretty octopus" written in Mandarin as the unsuspecting beachgoer handled and filmed the brightly coloured sea creature.

Marine ecology expert Michael Keough from the University of Melbourne said picking up an octopus exposes the hand to the beak, a few millimetres-long horny barb located on the bottom of the octopus between its tentacles. "It can only bite if it's on top of something," he said.

With a beak that pierces the exoskeletons of crabs, the octopus releases a neurotoxin from its glands that causes paralysis, causing its prey to stop breathing and die "within an hour".

Fond as I am of wildlife, I do wish that the local foxes would carry out their nocturnal activities with less noise.

The last few weeks the night has been rent with vulpine screams. It has sounded like mass murder in progress. :eek:

That said, there was a particularly handsome fox on the front lawn at 0530 today.

I'm not sure if this is the same animal, but the camera caught this visitor in the back garden last night.

The date is incorrect as the camera had been without batteries for a couple of days which upset some of the settings.
