I should probably watch that movie some day. Is it worth it if I already know the twist though?

I would humbly suggest reading the book instead. Or at least in addition to. Same with 1984. And probably most other things? Except most of Philip K. Dick. Those ya gotta watch the movies that are 'based' on his stories.

We've got black widows here, in the U.S., which are related to redbacks. They're not really a big deal. IIRC, there hasn't been a reported death from a black widow bite since 1982.

We don't have anything like the funnel web spiders, inland taipan, eastern brown snake, or salt water crocodiles (unless you count grizzlies, but they're nowhere near as aggressive). Also, the box jellyfish species we have here aren't as dangerous as what you've got down there.

I think I read that there hasn't been a death from the funnel web spider since 1981, so I guess that kind of falls into a category similar to our black widows to some people. They're way, way more aggressive than our widow spiders though. Those fangs are nuts!

Of all the dangerous animals in Australia that I'm aware of, the salties are what I'd be most cautious about.

As an American that has read up on Aussie wildlife and statistics about their lethality (from Australian based sources), I think the media sensationalizes things. Most Americans have a distorted perception of the dangers posed by Australian wildlife.

I think this is the same thing that happens when other parts of the world look at the United States and firearms. The media skews reality.

I recon you're spot on.

We had a redback festation at our place I dealt with a few months ago. I have otherwise never even seen the other animals in person myself.
I do live inner city which helps.

Once however, I did nearly step on a red-bellied black snake while my wife and I were trekking through a golf course to reach a small beach. I didnt realize but she suddenly yanked me.

Gentlemen,

Opinions needed!

I’m trying to dip my toe into higher end folders, to bide the time until the CPK folder comes to fruition…. Please help me choose from the pic below. Does anyone have any experience with “Snake Eyes”?

View attachment 2976076

Currently, leaning towards the skull/skeleton with the pentagram carved into the forehead with the scantily clad lady with green hair.

Budget: $29.99 or 2 for $50

Interested in your thoughts! ☺️

Definitely go with the one that has ''sacrificed'' misspelled on it
