Nungali

suppose that is the tool for the job ! I once rode a 15 year old CB Honda 250cc from Perth to Sydney via Melbourne .... I yi yi - yi yi ! 4000 + Km ! ( and that old motorcycle kept going for another 6 months around Sydney ! )

Well ..... who was it ? Don't tell me Karl rode his motorcycle all the way to there !

Here is the local run ... down 'the big hole' to my place (along Waterfall Way ) http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=dorrigo+mountain+road+motorbikes&&view=detail&mid=32BECB417B9F54948BFB32BECB417B9F54948BFB&FORM=VRDGAR ( 4.46 - 4.53 is my fav bit ; an amazingly deep drop off, no safety rail ( I have tire nudged those bricks a couple of times ) , he probably didn't want to take his eyes off road to film the view - spectacular ! ... and a loooong way down .

What ! Come on ... details man details ..... me jealous - I used to own one of these ;

and none of its 'rules' and correctness made much sense when they tried to teach me to speak and write all proper like . I before e ... except after c ... and in certain other cases , usually when Venus is retrograde.

I wondered what it was made from

here I was ..... totally misconstruing the purpose of these threads !

one more for fun

..... well , that is an Australian parrot after all

No ? How would you know ? As soon as I get that other croc's arm , I will have a great pair of boots ! A little hard to walk in though You, however, may prefer my 'hand crafted' high - heeled "cow girl boots " I also suggest the accompanying handbag ..... bonus is, it comes already full of ..... 'stuff' .

Say hello to Brutus .... you can even pat and stroke him ! ......

yep .... lady got taken by a croc in FFNQ the other day (I hope it took her somewhere nice . ) Actually, they do seem to have a particular taste for Japanese tourists .... more than other nationalities .

I cant believe they got me with the old Nazi meditating Tibetan death monk trick !

.... well ..... lets say just the handbag then ... No ? a small change purse ? No ?

If you showed me that one I would dong it with a cast iron frypan . I might even make shoes and handbag out of its skin for Junko.

The carpet python is a popular pet . Even one in the wild can be quiet 'friendly', if you know what you are doing, you can pick them up and cuddle them, if its a cold day, they appreciated the warmth of our bodies. I have had one sitting on my lap while I was sitting at the table, it slithered inside my shirt, curled up and went to sleep. A very good natured snake , even once when one got pissed off with me (from over handling ) and it struck at me, it did it with a closed mouth ..... a little warning 'peck' with its nose.

Tell him now he has removed all the cover, they wont want to stay in his garden ... they will move towards the house and find sheltered habitat there .

the bite is fatal as well ? You have a snake that is BOTH poisonous (which is rare ) AND venomous ? ! ? ( normally I would let this pass, but not with Karl ... ) Aussie death adder

and if we had no gravity the air would be full of all the birds that died .... just floating around .... so just as well we have it .

Junko; " Yes ok,so you are saying those python were all killed by accident? Since when it is called 'accident' when human kill animal being intentionally and to make money for it?? " The ones I get are already dead. Most have been killed by people not being able to avoid them , or not being aware they are there, however, I do know some people deliberately aim for them to run over and kill them. However, they can jump up into the underside of the car and can work their way into the inside of the passenger area .... its happened ! But times have changed ; Nungali as a little boy ; Big brother ' "There is a snake in the yard ! " Dad : "Run and get me the axe ! " - well, that's also how people get bitten ! Nowadays ; " Hey boys ! Come look at this beautiful snake in the yard ... stand back, don't crowd him ..... all stand together - don't surround him.... give him an escape route .... hasn't he got a great pattern on him .... that's what we call a Death Adder ." - I don't think what you described IS called an accident .... its called commercial hunting .

a collector eh ?

here is another .... space blade (not allowed to post the pic ) http://www.kitchenknifeforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2373&d=1320970735

....... and ??? Many ancient knives were made of meteoric iron. Eskimos made beautiful modern looking cutlery out of meteoric iron and walrus ivory handles. There were just limps of it laying around for the taking in some places - no mining, smelting or even melting as it could also be hammered out in some cases. I saw a beautiful traditional Indonesian Kris with such a blade, whoever had made it used the internal patterns and layering of the meteor to enhance the blades strength (by alignment) and appearance . like this ( but the one I saw much more complex and intricate with multiple swirls along the edge creating a serrated blade .... VERY sharp it was ) .
