--- Quote from: themacnut on 21 Sep 2011, 03:36 ---Yeah, people either generally hate snakes or love 'em, there's very little in-between. Many women (of all ages), at least here in the US, tend to run away screaming at the sight of one, while men tend to murder them on sight (if they don't run away themselves-I see an increasing number of young men running now...).
Akima, you're in Australia, right? Considering that the most poisonous species of snakes live down there, I think I'd be running away at the sight of an Australian snake in the bush. And I'm not afraid of snakes-but I keep a wide berth from poisonous ones. Sam, I think, would not survive long in Australia...

Snakes are venomous - not poisonous (/pedantic)... :P

Heh, isn't that the same thing?
TinPenguin:
Venomous means you die if it bites you.
Poisonous means you die if you bite it back.

<simple>Nice art!</simple>
Jim did decribe Sam as a tomboy-ish, not as mini-female Bear Grylls. (Spelling?)
I like the little dazed star coming off the snake. On the college monitors it's hard to see but I chuckled when I noticed it.

Really ? Interesting.
There is only one word (giftig) for either circumstance in german.
S_g:
Coming from Australia and growing up bush walking, grabbing almost any snake, let alone a brown one normally ends in badness.
As for an above poster saying they are non aggressive, obviously never been chased by a brown snake on a hot day. Nasty angry little buggers.
Generally if you leave them alone they leave you alone thou.
Todays comic just made me shudder.
