[quote=Sydney Morning Herald]Millions of baby spiders appeared to be raining from the sky in the Southern Tablelands earlier this month, with one astonished local fearing the region had been "invaded by spiders" and another reporting his home was "covered" in the creatures. Goulburn resident Ian Watson said his house looked like it had been "abandoned and taken over by spiders". "The whole place was covered in these little black spiderlings and when I looked up at the sun it was like this tunnel of webs going up for a couple of hundred metres into the sky."[/quote] [url]http://www.smh.com.au/environment/animals/raining-spiders-in-goulburn-entirely-possible-scientist-says-20150514-gh1guf.html[/url] [img]http://www.smh.com.au/content/dam/images/g/h/1/i/9/d/image.related.articleLeadwide.620x349.gh1guf.png/1431579672264.jpg[/img]

Australia ladies and gentlemen.
[QUOTE=gokiyono;47748891]fun nightmare[/QUOTE] What.
So this is what passes for "news" these days
And Johnny Depp's dogs are the problem?! The problem just landed all over you Australia! D:
[QUOTE=Reds;47748918]So this is what passes for "news" these days[/QUOTE] News doesn't always have to be 100% information. A big part of it is for entertainment.
[QUOTE]Fields are covered in spiderwebs amid rising floodwaters in Wagga Wagga. Photo: Reuters It was beautiful, he said. "But at the same time I was annoyed because ... you couldn't go out without getting spider webs on you. And I've got a beard as well, so they kept getting in my beard." [/QUOTE] Imagine just having a ton of spiders in your beard.
This would be the most Australian thing I'd seen today, but I saw a bogan couple letting there toddler run around next to a busy road. Then on the TV I saw a guy who fought a 2 metre long crocodile by poking it in the eye.
[QUOTE=ijyt;47748901]What.[/QUOTE] Wrong word I guess, it's just strange when nightmares come true .

[QUOTE=Darth Ninja;47748950]Then on the TV I saw a guy who fought a 2 metre long crocodile by poking it in the eye.[/QUOTE] Only valid if he cracked a laugh at the crocodile's expense while also drinking a beer. But seriously now, if it weren't for the messed up killer fauna, Australia would probably be one of the best places on Earth :v:
Oh it's Tuesday already?
And just when Australia thought there could be nothing as shit as Tony Abbott, mother nature provided the answer.
Finally Australians have proper access to the Web
I wonder what it feels like underfoot. Probably not as gratifying as snow. (also wonder what it looks like on fire, fuuuuuuck that)
That was the weird part about mad max, for a nuclear Australia there was a surprising lack of deadly nature [editline]18th May 2015[/editline] Australia just doesn't make things easy for their tourist board
Oh dear christ no
In times like these, I wish we had orbital nuclear strike capability.
Instantly thought of Australia and boy was I right
[QUOTE=doomevil;47749426]Instantly thought of Australia and boy was I right[/QUOTE] well the title would imply Australia
well there's another reason I don't want to live in australia
[QUOTE=uber.;47749082]And just when Australia thought there could be nothing as shit as Tony Abbott, mother nature provided the answer.[/QUOTE] If Tony was smart, he'd side with the spiders for his anti-immigration master plan. He'd either be unstoppable or force Australia into becoming "the Fire Island".
good, this means I don't have to grind for spider silk to make tapestries to sell on etsy betsy spyder and art galleries.
Imagine having arachnophobia and living in Australia.
