Actually, it would be more accurate to say that of the 9 most poisonous arachnids, Australia has all of them. Douglas Adams

Oh god, metaquotes is freaking me out. They're talking about spiders in Sydney. And while I've always known that Australia is home to various horrible creepy-crawlies, I've managed to not really think about it too much so far.

It's not that I'm arachnophobic. If I see a spider in my house I'll usually ignore it or put it outside. But spiders that you find in my house don't generally have the ability to KILL YOU.

Oh my god. That is seriously one of the main reasons that puts me off ever moving to Australia. Pathetic but true.

True horror, however, is searching for "camel spider" on google images *shudder*

I have the perfect icon for this post. And no, it's not the scary spider one.

I would LOVE to go to Australia. Even though I realize I wouldn't last very long. I'd be all:

"OMG WHAT IS THAT?!?! I MUST EXAMINE IT!"
