I know you're not Australian, but I would have thought living in the general area, plus your natural tendency to want to show up anyone and anything would have compelled you to get this one right, at least.
Ignore him. That's what I do.

Ahhh, who likes a Vulcan's anyway. I kind of like it when messes up every once in a while. Kind of makes me appreciate him better when he is right. Which occasionally I think he is. But only when I say so.

i hooked about eight one day off the mornington pier, but they all got off. i'd catch 'flathead' on a small rod and chuck them on the surfcaster(live). i think i needed stronger line. long time ago. we'd camp out all night which was usless fishing(but fun)..... bottle of port, a radio, and some blankets. good times....
I'm more scared of stingrays than most sharks when im diving/snorkelling/swimming in shallow water. I’ve swam with both and stingrays are definitely the more scary. Sneaky little f*****s.

ANIMAL welfare organisation the RSPCA said Steve Irwin was a modern day Noah because of his conservation work.

Mr Irwin died today after being pierced by a stingray barb while filming a documentary off north Queensland.

"His loss will be felt by animal lovers not just in Australia but all over the world," said RSPCA Qld chief executive Mark Townend.

Well kidnapping a bunch of every type of animal on earth and sticking them on a boat is pretty annoying to animals. As is poking them with sticks.

I guess they are exactly the same after all.
