Australians can be quite cruel, they just tend to congregate in places nobody wants to go like Timbricki.
It's okay, as an Australian I can tell you that you don't have to worry about the wildlife. Either you have a natural resistance or immunity to them, or they kill you before you even realise what's happening.brainless_fps_player said:Well I've never heard of swimming knives, so I have a horrible image of stab victims being washed up on the Australian shore.Lexodus said:And the sea is inhabited almost exclusively by things designed to kill you; sharks, jellyfish, swimming knives, they're all in there.brainless_fps_player said:
