Som om du nokon gong har vore på sjøen utan hagle.

Forskjellen er at jeg faktisk skriver det, istedet for å ikke si noe. Å komme med kommentarer om anatomi i en slik sammenheng er minst like latterlig som å synes en brugde er litt ekkel.
Står ved mine ord. Totalt irrasjonelt å skremmes av et bilde av ei brugde.. Mann eller kvinne likedan. Syns hverken den er stygg eller ekkel selv. Ganske hyggelig og fascinerende og et skikkelig sjarmtroll, men du har rett i at den er kjempestor. Sånn som også alle bardehvalene er.. Men de er jo så SØØØTE! Jebus. En av de minste manetene i havet, sjøvepsen (1-3 cm), er verdens giftigste dyr. Treffes du av trådene får du digre, drøye arr og dør i løpet av 10-15 min uten medisinsk behandling. Det er kjipe dyr det. Brugda er fin.
Det mest fornuftige jeg har lest i denne tråden. Brugda er kjempefin og veldig fascinerende.
What the f**k is That?
So you're on vacation in Australia, drinking a Fosters, chasing dingos away from your babies and arguing about what things are and are not knives. You sign up to go on a scuba tour of the Great Barrier Reef. After a quick tutorial on what you can and cannot touch that you didn't even understand (they are speaking Australian after all), you're down in the ocean exploring the reef. One small and particularly beautiful shell grabs your attention and you pick it up out of curiosity. That's when you feel a pinch on your palm.
Congratulations, you've just been stung by one of Australia's deathly toxic residents.
What's this Funny Feeling?
That funny feeling is cocktail of toxins that were just lanced into your hand by a harpoon. Cone snails can fire off those harpoons in any direction and they use them to paralyze fish (at which point they then eat them--alive). Fortunately, you're too big for the cone snail to eat. Unfortunately, the toxins still affect you in a terrible way. Depending on which species of cone snail you picked up, you're either feeling the effects of your nervous system being fucked to hell or you're suffering this delightful symphony of s**t, per Wikipedia:
"Paresthesias of the lips and tongue are followed by sialorrhea, sweating, headache, weakness, lethargy, ataxia, incoordination, tremor, paralysis, cyanosis, aphonia, dysphagia, seizures, dyspnea, bronchorrhea, bronchospasm, respiratory failure, coma, and hypotension. Gastroenteric symptoms are often severe and include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Cardiac arrhythmias may precede complete respiratory failure and cardiovascular collapse."
And you probably haven't even made it to dry land yet.
Will I Be Alright?
That depends on how competent the people around you are. There is no cure for the cone snail's venom, and treatment is simply based on how long your rescuers can keep you alive while your body pisses, shits and vomits the toxins out. If the people saving you haven't already fled the scene of your body exploding from every orifice, their CPR is simply meant to keep you breathing until you've shat the last little bit of venom out.

Wikipedia hadde litt mer å tilføye:
One of the fish-eating species, the geography cone, Conus geographus, is also known colloquially as the "cigarette snail," a humorous exaggeration implying that, when stung by this creature, the victim will have only enough time to smoke a cigarette before dying.

Fy f**n! f**n ta Australia. skal ALDRI noensinne dra dit. Ikke om jeg så hadde fått betalt en million.
Virker som om folk har flaks hvis de overlever fra flyplassutgangen og inn i taxien.

Haiart kalt "wobbegong". Ja, namnet er frå Australia.
Haha, så j****g fet. Ser litt fornøyd ut.
Samme jeg tenkte. Skikkelig rasshøl-glis på slutten.

Tipper Australia har ein eigen edderkoppart som spesialiserer seg på å droppe frå terminaltak og ned i nakken på forbipasserande.
You treat your step-mother with respect, Pantera!

Croc-attack! Herlig!
Må vel si såpass at jeg har vært i Australia, og jeg har vært i bushen, i hager, og på Whitsundays-øyene. Og badet i havet.
Store edderkopper finner du, store kakkerlakker, store flaggermus, og nysgjerrige possums. Men bortsett fra det er det fint lite farlig, om du ikke er idiot og oppsøker drapsmaskinene. Hadde et stort ønske om å se hai, men hadde ikke lykken med meg før nest siste dag på Whitsundays, hvor en liten svart-tip reef shark svømte rundt. Den ble dessverre skvetten og svømte bort da jeg vassa uti.
Fantastisk bedagelig land, tross sine drapsmaskiner, noe denne krabaten beviser:
Vet ikke om dette er nevnt her før, men den her var litt kul:
Orcas hunt and eat Great White Sharks!
Talk about a killer whale. Through a combination of superior brain power and brute force, these sea-mammals are able to hunt the most feared predators of the ocean. According to the scientists that study their behavior, populations of orcas across the world have learned and devised strategies to kill sharks.
The most impressive one? The "karate chop." Orcas use their tails to drive the shark to the surface, thrusting their tails to create a current that pushes the shark up to the surface. They don't even need to touch the shark! Once up there, the whale pivots and lifts its tail and comes down like a karate chop. The whale then turns the shark upside down, which paralyzes it. This implies that they have some basic knowledge of how sharks work (sharks have to swim at all times or they drown). I think I'll never see Free Willy the same way again!
