    Biggest killer in Australia isn't a spider, a snake or a shark. It's horses.

      Even the horses are venomous?

        You still wouldn't get me swimming in the sea there.

        In Queensland, they have the deadly box jellyfish which, apparently, has the most agonisingly painful venom of all.

        I must tell you something of the pain.

        The pain attacks your body at a speed that is so fast it cannot be measured. Already your lungs are paralyzed and your stomach is turned upside down. Simultaneously your tongue is trapped and quickly dries out, while your jaw slams shut and your eyes squeeze tight. Your ears go deaf. Your muscles tense in an attempt to combat the pain; then they release succumbing to its awesome power.
        Feck that....

            That's a plutocracy, not a meritocracy. The slightest examination of any human society will immediately show that the distribution of wealth is not correlated with merit, unless the latter is vacuously defined as "wealth"

                      We have already established that Australia is a polechokocracy.
