No dude! That’s a blue ring octopus! They bite! If it bites you it injects an incredibly powerful neurotoxin that will paralyze and then kill you in a very short amount of time. Look it up.

Well, thankfully they are far, far from the States.

So you’re saying she was almost a candidate for a Darwin Award

Well, not everyone knows how dangerous and aggressive that beautiful little octopus can be.

Well, if she picked it up and ate it, yes, it could be deadly. But holding one is considered safe.
One of my coolest diving experience was when a medium sized octopus wrapped a tentacle around my leg.

The blue flashes are warning signs. Telling you to get lost.

The parachute regiment regularly conduct an exercise in the brecon beacons, not far from me. Every year, some idiot thinks it's a good idea to pick up an adder. It's probably part of the exercise, to see who is the type to interfere with venomous fauna.

Taking the day off. Had this wierd sensation in my chest, felt dizzy and light headed, actually passed out at one point. Called 111 and they said it sounds like a sudden drop in blood pressure, take it easy, drink some fluids and call back if it starts again

Put a little salt and a little sugar in the water, not much, less than a 1/4 teaspoon

Well that’s not likely to kill them but it will certainly rank as one of the worst decisions of their life. Fasciotomy for compartment syndrome or necrotizing flesh are good reminders to leave these alone.

Turn off the news…

That helps me out, life is so much better when I'm not staring at it

And to make up for all that, the good lord gave Australia the wombat, a creature whose cuteness and friendliness is the stuff of legend

The wombat is a friendly animal? I pretty much know nothing about them.

They have a powerful bum attack.

We all need to be more wombat aware.

Second day feeling like death- I've made an appointment to see my GP. There's a history of heart disease in my dad's side of the family and I'd be well advised not to fiddlestick about.

Definitely a good idea to get that checked out ASAP. Hope you feel better

Heart: OK, who thought it was a good idea to work out in this condition? Brain? Have you got something to tell us?

 

[Prince_Alarming98 34]

Niece: "SOOOD IIIIT!" I'm obviously going to have to watch my language a bit more around these two

Recovering from an overdose last night. Nothing else to do so I got the dumbbells out- felt a lot heavier than they usually do.
