Only the males though. :) Presumably the ones in the pool are females.

Drat. You were never meant to find out that the cute and cuddly looking critters are killers to. Go on, jump in the pool :twisted:

True, true. There's barely any organic lifeforms in Australia that won't try to kill you, one way or another. :D

Actually, I would say that applies to most creatures around the world. And we have wildlife here that isn't deadly as much as [EFF!]ING ANNOYING! Peewees and Crested Pigeons top the list for me personally at the moment, because over the past few months, a specimen each of those species has been attacking our windows whenever our [EFF!]ing back is turned! :x

Anyway, more on the Savile Saga:

What leaves me speechless? Not so much that the circus did the ad, as much as the immigration officials pushing them to do it. :roll:

Just checked my beef burgers in the fridge.... and they're off.
What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!
