[AGL] under the weather

[Byron Allen Black]

It's amusing how the Australians will proudly reel off a list of the many,
many natural wonders of their country which will kill you, starting with
some of the world's deadliest snakes, saltwater crocs, sharks, stone fish,
blue something octopus yadda2.

And you can get wiped out by a kangaroo caught in front of  your car, on
the highway. Sort of like hitting a deer in Texas. But Texans don't put
'deer-bars' on their cars, while Aussies fit 'roo bars'.
