	And the tinhat cult was bigger and scarier and funnier. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The BJR thing had one funny bit: when tiki called her a "goddam baby-woman" but the tinhats were funny for YEARS. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That was a gem but BJR refusing to eat a cassowary on her survival trek because it might be venomous was also hilarious. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Granted, I didn't know what a cassowary was before googling it, but poisonous birds, really? Particularly from someone recommending people should catch and eat city pigeons.

Although Wikipedia claims that "Cassowaries are very shy, but when disturbed, they are capable of inflicting serious or even fatal injuries to dogs and people." So, erm, if I ever come across one, I'll stay well away.

	I've just now realized that Dominic Monaghan now has a new show about surviving in the wilderness. Are the streams crossing? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	From what bits and pieces I've seen of the show, it's less surviving in the wilderness and more "look at this nifty but dangerous creature". (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I've only seen him in a jungle, in a desert, and in a city on the show, so as far as I know, no. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	There is a poisonous bird, actually! At least one, there may be more. It's coated in the same sort of poison that poison arrow frogs use. I can't remember their name, but they're called something like trash birds by the locals because they smell like ass. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	googles Aww, that's a pretty bird! And wow, wildlife in my country is boring (but also somewhat safer) compared to some other places on the planet). Nothing that eats people, and nothing that poisons you fatally, unless you are very unlucky with vipers, or of course allergic to something. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

We don't have any large native predators on land and we have antivenin for practically everything? Except Irukanji, but just stay out of the water, and you'll be right. Cassowaries, while quite dangerous, are limited to our very small areas of rainforest, and apparently if you're ever in a conflict with them you should position yourself behind a tree, and keep moving around the tree as they attempt to kick you to death. But they're pretty endearing, so it's okay.

I mean, there's a 0% chance of ever being eaten by a bear in the Australian outback, though.

	Apparently air horns are also very effective in scaring them, so that's a comfort as well. :) (Reply to this)(Parent)
