Probably a rattler or some type of scorpion. I dunno, I stay in the city most of the time now.

Because of the scorpions?

Probably due to the bad outbreak of hicks in the Texas wilderness.

We had a hick outbreak here, up at Goler mountain, a few years back. It's "under control" now, but I wouldn't recommend a camping trip anywhere near Goler mountain.

The US south has had a hick outbreak since forever

4th the funnel web spider (the black widow would be pushing it to kill ya)
5th if i drove for an hour i could find a great white shark to nibble on ya too

There are not many dangerous animals in New England (at least relative to other places)...

The Northeast Black Bear - Not common in populated areas, but there are many in western Mass., NH, VY, ME.
Though it's rare for them to go after human hikers or campers.

Snakes - There are at least two poisonous varieties in Mass. Though I think bites are more likely to just make you sick (I could be wrong).

Ticks - Lime Disease

Mosquitoes - EEE

Truly though, the most dangerous animal in the Boston Driver. Very vicious and unpredictable. This animal statistically is your most likely killer if you live or visit NE.

I'm pretty convinced Australia and Florida were never meant for human habitation.

Sensibly, however, the British put a prison in Australia.

Non-sensically, Americans put Disneyworld in Florida.

[KoolBak]

Well the most dangerous are cougars and black bears.....but no one ever gets hurt by them as they are so reclusive.

Rattlers on the other hand are another story....here's one that tried to get me last year hunting ;o)

ps - notice my awesome 18-pack abs

That would be Walt Disney who did that, not "Americans, in general"

Actually, it makes perfect sense. The governor of Florida at that time sold vast acres and acres of land for extremely low prices and gave them IIRC many benefits (no/very little taxes, more autonomy in their own region, tax incentives, etc.). Disney had the capability to build their own city and practically govern it themselves. How could you pass up that deal? You just can't, sax! Don't be dissing Florida!

You actually get a few good hits with that google that explain the risks of interacting with this animal...

Open letter to Boston Drivers

After living here for 8 years I'd say every single driving habit you people can dish out, has rubbed off on me. It's all about ME now, I don't give a shit about you and if you're rushing to visit your dying grandmother in the hospital. I'm on the road and every one of you better get out of my way.

1 - If you're going to slow in the left lane, you'll find out quickly, I'll be tailgating and honking/flashing my lights to let you know. You better be doing at the bear minimum, 10 mph over the limit, if not, move the f*ck over. Also, if no one is in front of you, move the f*ck over anyway because I'm trying to keep my steady pace of 20-30 mph over.

2 - If I want to get into your lane, trust me, I'll get into your lane at all costs. If you try to keep me from getting into your lane by tailgating the car in front of you, then I'll just move up and get in front of the car in front of you. No matter what, I'll be ahead of you and you'll be pissed.

3 - If there is a long line of cars for an exit or to make a turn, I'll be cruising down the adjacent lane waiting for that one person (editor's note... locally we call that person the weak link) to delay moving forward so I can jump in line. If not, I'll just go up to the front of the line and cut in at the last second.

4 - I don't let anyone merge in front of me but expect every one of you to let me merge in front of you. I'll honk and get pissed off if this does not happen every time I'm on the road.

5 - Any thing you do that makes me step on the brake pedal, I'll be pissed and have to honk at your ass.

6 - If your car is not at least rolling the moment the light turns green, you'll get an air horn up your ass.

7 - If you're on the phone and cut me off or something, you'll get a "get the f*ck off the phone asshole!" out the window, even if I have to put the person I'm talking to on hold.

8 - The right turn only lane is so I can get in front of all your slow asses going straight the moment the light turns green. Same goes for left turn only lanes that don't have a separate turn arrow signal.

9 - If you pull out in front of me, I'll wait until the last possible moment to hit the brakes to give you the illusion I'm about to slam full speed into your door. Then I'll honk and yell obscenities.

10 - Last but not least: God forbid you don't know where your going, if your rolling along a single lane semi busy 45 mph road at 20 mph looking for a specific street that could be anywhere for the next 10 miles. I'll be honking and flashing my lights at you to pull the f*ck over so I can get to my destination before my next birthday. If you don't pull over, or tap your brakes to try to intimidate me, i'll cross over the double yellow and pull in front of you and slam my brakes back at you.

That is all; f*ck you all for making me drive like this. I used to be nice and courteous on the road long ago when I lived in a small town in NY. Now I'm a fucking asshole because of you. Thanks, my mom would be proud that I learned from the best.

polar bears.

And you wouldn't believe how easy it is for them to demolish our igloos! One swipe o' the paw and we're sent running... And believe me, if you try to outrun a polar bear, you will fail... You've got to get up a tree, and it could keep you there for hours. Ever tried writing a thesis while perched in a branch, nervously regarding a polar bear that very much wants to eat you?
