the box jellyfish apparently has the most painful sting known to man, i read a story about a man who got stung then passed out from the pain, but even though he was unconscious he was still screaming...
Tat's not true I don't think. i could be wrong but i read it in a QI book.The_ModeRazor said:It's white.Crystalite said:Best thing you can say about a Polar Bear:
You always see it coming ;-)
SNOW IS WHITE.
How do you know if it isn't a pile of snow, but a polar bear?
IT'S EATING YOUR FACE.
Seriously, one of their hunt tactics is to cover their noses (because they're black) and blend in with the snow.
aaw, but that top one look's freindly, and happy!Marmooset said:I'd say Black Mamba
or Russell's Viper.
The Mamba, because in addition to pumping a rhino's worth of venom in a single bite, it is very aggressive, and will try to bite you several times.
The Russell's because the bite is necrotic, and rots skin and muscle.
I ate lamprey once. It was alright.RoyalSorceress said:A lamprey. Have you ever seen a lamprey's mouth? *shudder*
Magical things called boots.Steel_crab said:I saw one of these in fucking Australia. Second most venomous and number one most dangerous to meet snake in the world. Venomous number one, the Fierce snake, is shy and runs away from humans. This fucker'll have his teeth in your ankle if you step into his patch, no questions asked.
Beautiful animals nonetheless. I frequently have nightmares about Coral Snakes as well, for some reason.RhombusHatesYou said:I could make your phobia totally explicable and send you a box of inland taipans. If a package arrives labelled "Definitely not full of highly venomous snakes" that'll be it. The label is just to get it past customs.similar.squirrel said:[http://img171.imageshack.us/i/67772251.png/]
Inland Taipan, I believe. I have an inexplicable snake phobia [inexplicable, because I live in Ireland], and this one seems to be the nastiest of the lot.
Oddly enough the wiki page of Inland Taipans says "Although highly venomous, it is very shy and reclusive, and prefers to escape from trouble, biting only if threatened," which I can tell you from personal experience is a load of old bollocks. They're bad tempered, paranoid and will chase you for shit and giggles.
No f-ing way. That thing probably voted Jobbik.The_ModeRazor said:For me, well, I really fucking hate spiders, but I'm more scared of a T-Rex. Shame it's long extinct.
For something a little more real (that I could possibly meet, since ************ also lives in Hungary), you don't want this thing charging at you:
OH GOD Put that damn thing in a spoiler for gods sake aah jeezeRhombusHatesYou said:You mean the Goliath Birdeater spider?Velvo said:For me, it would have to be giant-ass spiders. I don't even want to go searching for an image I hate them so bad.
