    Ironnically, I don't fear a lot of thing (yep, even snakes and scorpions don't scare me (go figure !)). I was just saying this to show how lucky I can be. Don't worry, my plane and hotel room in Prague are booked since April and I'm not gonna cancel it even if it starts raining scorpions on the Vinsceslas Place !

    Great... I guess I'll put NZ on my "to see before I die" list... Somewhere between Scotland and Poland, perhaps.

    But as I said, my only big fear is spiders. Scorpions are easy to handle and snakes are so big that you gotta see them before they bite.

    So if they're not deadly, it's definately a "good to go" place.

    **EDIT** Speaking of snakes... I caught one a few weeks back in a building I was working in. I played with it for a good 5 minutes before taking it out. To bad there was not any girl around... Would have loved to play a trick on them.

    It was actually that specy that I found : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diadoph...atus_edwardsii

    Negative. The majority of snake bites happen before you see the snake. The victim steps on them or gets too close to them without even seeing them.

    Trust me, I used to live in Rattlesnake country. I grew up with them and used to catch them. I am a big snake fan and even have own quite a few as pets (only have one now at the moment).

    The only really scary snake for are the big King Browns here in Australia. Can grow to nearly 6 feet long and get territorial at times. In the hot sun on the sandunes they can move very quickly.

    So many have been killed that they are on the endangered list now. They were more common when I was a kid growing up on the station, but I havent seen one for probably 10 years now
    Fr President Clemenceau’s speech to the AIF 7th July 1918: “ we expected a great deal of (Australians)… We knew that you would fight a real fight, but we did not know that from the beginning you would astonish the whole continent. I shall go back and say to my countrymen “I have seen the Australians, I have looked in their faces …I know that they will fight alongside of us again until the cause for which we are all fighting is safe for us and for our children”.

    Oh, I'll trust you on that... I remember reading a post stating you owned a snake a few months ago.

    Plus, none of the snakes living in Canada are dangerous to humans, so we never hear of snake bites around here.
