ROTFLMAO!

LOL!

Didn’t know who the Minogue character was - Did a google search that yielded this enticing lead-in:

Dannii Minogue
www.danniiminogue.com/www/home/Dannii, Dannii Minogue, Danni, Dani, Danni, Dannii, Minogue, Dannii Minogue, dannii minogue, Dannii Minogue Screensavers, Dannii Minogue Pictures, ...

. . . followed by a Wikipedia entry with the usual ho hum litany of celebrity credentials, and an entry with glamor shots of some dime-a-dozen, commodity-style beauty.

I think I’d head south and risk the giant spiders, myself.

I had to look for the extremely deadly fluther/smack, but I guess “stinging” is as close as it gets.

[Little Ray]

You forgot poisonous octopi, drop bears, and sea snakes.

[SkyPilot]

LOL!

[Grizzled Bear]

That.

Map.

Is.

AWESOME!

Good map, but you left out the kill-you-instantly sea snakes, the kill-you-instantly funnel-web spiders, the kill-you-instantly blue-ring octopi, the kill-you-instantly fer-de-lance, and the behead-you-later immigrant imams.

After seeing On the Beach, I decided to look up what would be the farthest-south, most-temperate, green corner of Australia that it might be nice to live in. I zeroed in on the southwest corner and the coastline opposite the Recherche Archipelago, and then the archipelago itself. Why not own a whole island?

Then I grew up and realized that if nobody lived there, it was because the whole place had to be covered in poisonous thorn-bushes, funnel-web spider nests and fer-de-lance that refuse to eat the spiders, but instead lounge around sunning themselves and waiting on you. So much for that idea.
