You know what would be awesome? Grab a bunch of Lyrebirds, play some music of your choice at them, and then release them back into the wild. Watch as loggers sit around wondering why the forest is resounding with Firewind songs

I knew a guy who wanted to teach a lyrebird Gregorian Chants.
And by knew, I mean he moved to Australia to get killed by experience the wildlife.

I have photo evidence that our spiders ate all our snakes!

Is that...
A black widow..?

[Jackrabbit]

Eating a snake, yes.

Redback Spider. One of the nastier ones running around the countryside. They even feature in a song! (The song being about a redback on the toilet seat and the singer sat down without seeing it, but he felt it's bite!)

They won't kill you, but their venom is a neurotoxin that may well make you wish they had killed you.

[Jackrabbit]

Which is the prime reason for me checking the toilet every time I use it.

Also, how did I not get the Black Widow/Redback mistake? I'm losing it.

[Neruz]

Redbacks are pretty similar to Black Widows in many respects, i think they're fairly closely related.

OH MY GOD.

SAINT PATRICK. WAS A SPIDER.

[Jackrabbit]

That was so funny I don't actually even have a smart ass comment to add to it.

 I'm sure that is a Black Widow. Redbacks have a diamond-shaped red marking, while Black Widows have an hourglass shaped red marking. But then again the lighting could be odd here.

I assure you Duke; it's a Redback. I am intimately familiar with Redbacks and that is most definitely a Redback.

It's not a Katipo either; they have a white outline around an orange pattern.

[OmnipotentGrue]

Also, Australia has this.

I live across the street from this man. So, Atherton gets some publicity, huh?

[alway]

Hmm... I think its time to add "create lyrebird band" to my list of things I wish I could do but probably won't before I die.
