have read both of those A MILLION times..lol. Both false i'm sure but still a good read. Maybe we should forward it on to MTV's Urban Legend show???..lol.

As we've said...Oz does not have Black Widows...we have Redbacks....and they have been known to kill...kids are at the most risk..
But now days with antivenine availiable, deaths are rare yes....but if you live in the boonies....where access to medical attention is a bloody long drive....the risk is still there for sure

Anyway, like I said... its all up to you to believe it. ME? I think like most of you said, it just a myth...

Or maybe not.........

Airhog, you've done a fair job of poking holes in the stories but I've just got to correct you on one point. The West Coast does indeed have Lobsters and my buddies and I dive for them regularly. But I'll bet there is some other way you can discredit the mud shrimp story if you try.

I hear your sweet voice calling

As I stare from a six foot cell
And from beyond I heard the words
Deceptively Yours

The stories are one i do not want to read,

i'm keen on crop circles and aliens and elvis going to mars with hitler.

I wont lie, Black Widows, although I've never had and encounters with them, terrify me.

And I'd be way too scared to 'play' with a lobster, damn things, I'd be scared it would nip me!

It could happen, Ya think?

I beleive in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve, and I beleive in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days. Kevin Costner/Bull Duram

"Your body as well as mine has needs. This is juat a little foreplay to highten our desire for each other. If we play out the game of love to it's natural conclusion, you'll experience fulfillment. Give yourself up to me and I'll guide you along the path to pareadise. Together we will be like fire and ice, love and hate, life and death." Virginia Henley

WANTED: a moment when you kiss someone and eveything around you becomes hazy. And the only thing in focus is you and this person and you relize that he is the only person your suppose to kiss for the rest of your life. And for one moment you get this amazing gift. You want to laugh and you want to cry. Cause you feel so lucky that you found it and so scared it will all go away at the same time.

I dont claim to be smart, I just looked them up on the internet. I could only wish I knew more useless facts

I think I just did... (and I read them ONCE!)
