So...a leisure activity in Australia is watching a monster that can eat you devour another bigger monster that can eat you?


I give up.

No seriously, this was literally on the News (from last year)

These guys live in the middle of nowhere. I can't think of a better leisure activity!

Shit,now i understand Thunderdome

"Hey guys, i'm bored out of my mind. How about a Dystopia where we kill each other like rampaging animals?"
"Eh, might as well do it"

I don't want to go to Australia. Ever.

Even Antarctica is a less hostile place for human life.

Do NOT post pictures if spiders please!
You WILL regret it later.

Hah, yeah, I was going to at one point. But plans fell through and it never happened. Can't say I'm that sad, as disappointing as it was.

Like i remember when the word Florida filled me with thoughts of a nice beach paradise.

Now whenever i hear it it's in connection with some awful person, event or location.

How do Russians feel about East Ukrainians?

I don't know but there is a more appropiate (topic relation wise) thread for that question though if anyone can answer it here I'm sure they will.

Scientist uncover a "giant" virus buried in the snow for thousands of years

But don't worry it's harmless to humans. Now all the other untouched pathegeons they might uncover...prepare for contagion.

Florida is so ugly though. I have no idea why people imagine it looks like Hawaii.
It's the world's ugliest swamp.
It's just this for miles and miles and miles.
Made worse by all the human settlement being crap built from the 60's on to sustain clothing outlets and the elderly.
It sucks it sucks it sucks it sucks it sucks.

There's a reason why Tampa is the birthplace of death metal.

Movies set in Miami probably helped alot.

Police Academy 5 made it look like heaven on earth.

Scarface made it look violent, but pretty.

All the average Brit knows about Florida is Miami and Disneyland. Lots of Citrus fruit are also given Florida branding so it feeds into that 'tropical paradise' image.

Too late King Canon already posted tht vid before your demands
... besides spiders can be found nearly everywhere. I don't know of any region/nation that doesn't have spider (maybe a few isolated islands may be spider free.)

Don't forget the tv shows. There is CSI:Miami, it makes it look wonderful. Even when they go into the eEverglades... they often state how dangerous the glades are but they show the more lush areas and not (or rarely show) regions like what Monkey King showed.

Key West was pretty~

You get down far enough and you get some almost tropical stuff yeah, but most of the thing looks like that picture I posted. And my Florida experience was pretty south too, Cape Coral mostly (also drove from there to Tampa then Orlando).
To make matters worse, I lived in Savannah for five years, and even there I could tell the landscape was transitioning to Florida butt swamp, that far from the northern border.
