They have to be smiling about something. >:3

So how did Keaton manage that?  Another question is what's she going to do?  Hmm...

Ah, Fendrick, remember what dear old Commander Kor said:  "Smile, smile...  I do not trust men who smile too much."

EDIT:  Due to Firefox (or forum?) lock-up.  *grrrr*  :banghead

Yeah, you'd think they'd keep track of the yellow-and-black object in the room. I know _I_ pay attention to anything that's striped yellow and black, it's usually a warning that the object is dangerous... ;-]

Don't forget about red against yellow objects, which also tend to be dangerous.  Red against black objects, however, are safe...I think.

Well, _you_ obviously have never been in a dunny in Australia. ;-]

She was behind Jakob when he spread his wings in righteous fury! :batman

I wonder what she needed Joshua's jacket for, though.

I stand corrected, and I thank you for warning me about outdoor toilets down under, but then again I tend to stay away from those in general.

For those that missed it, the reference was not to outdoor toilets in general, but specifically a (humourously intended) song about a redback spider that lurks in one in particular. I believe there is mention of "the worst place to get a bite" amongst other choice lines.

The spider in question is small, black, shiny, and has a red hourglass on it's abdomen. It's also amongst the more dangerous of spiders to be bitten by. See here (http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/news-10-most-poisonous-spiders?image=7) for a picture, and a short description of the results of a bite...

Ah, very interesting.  I wonder just how many other deadly black and red spiders there are other than the redback and black widow.

For those who missed my original reference, I was talking about a particular case of Batesian mimicry (http://www.knewance.com/comparisons/coral-snake-v-milk-snake-v-scarlet-kingsnake.html).

Ooo, also interesting. I missed that entirely - something to do with trying to live in countries where there aren't any venomous snakes. ;-] Not that I object to snakes, I just prefer not to share my house with any...

(btw, the song in question is here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjDAiq2-xeU), for those interested.)
