- n0t0kayipr0mis3, on 08/30/2008, -1/+234I actually thought it was well written, it was also very interesting... pants ***** interesting
- tjallen, on 08/31/2008, -0/+152So often in nature, bright colors = stay the hell away.
- ilikepandas, on 08/31/2008, -7/+146Damn nature! You scary!
- djcreamy, on 08/31/2008, -3/+115"Wow only two inches!"
That's what she said. - glinsvad, on 08/30/2008, -0/+101As a diver, I find it a little disturbing that the majority of these live under water...
- inactive, on 08/30/2008, -1/+88Watch out for that black widow hiding under your bed sheets.
- inactive, on 08/31/2008, -3/+82pffft, Like you were going to leave the house before.
- DeskFlyer, on 08/30/2008, -0/+68For once I'm actually glad I live here in Milwaukee.
- AxsToro, on 08/31/2008, -0/+49Sometimes I wish humans had some self defense... Why can't we have poison?!... Sigh... BRB reloading my shot gun.
- rebirf, on 08/31/2008, -2/+49You son of a bitch now I have to check my sheets every time I lay down until I forget about what you just said.
- inactive, on 08/31/2008, -0/+47Most of that ***** lives in Australia. Between them, stingrays, and 'roos, how the hell do you people live there?
- Sornos, on 08/31/2008, -3/+48Black widows actually like cool moist air. Like that found around the lips of toilet bowls. So maybe when you go to sit down, Mademoiselle Spider thinks that big warm object is an invader. Maybe she might just defend her home.
- luke16, on 08/30/2008, -5/+49When you see it...
- oli35, on 08/31/2008, -0/+35It's on the front page.
- strictnein, on 08/31/2008, -0/+32Will global warming kill off any of these? If so... I'll be out back burning tires.
- gaoshan, on 08/31/2008, -1/+33The gist of this article... avoid Australia and India and you are well on your way to never meeting any of these creatures. Add deep, dark jungles to the list and you are safe.
- FolkTheory, on 08/31/2008, -3/+35toilet bowls have lips?
*runs to bathroom* - Llanowar, on 08/31/2008, -3/+33A new excuse to refuse to leave the house.
I love the Internet. - PabloMac, on 08/31/2008, -0/+30Who is this Miss Deadliest?
- tjmb9, on 08/31/2008, -1/+30This is one of the most strange headlines to be worded this way.
- UTPinky, on 08/31/2008, -0/+28As somebody who doesn't dive, I'm quite relieved that the majority of them live in the water...
- hazard99, on 08/30/2008, -0/+27I used to catch Stone Fish at a trailer my grandparents had at the Florida Keys. I can't remember my father getting up so quick so I wouldn't try to grab it an de-hook it... which I probably wouldn't. They are ugly things...
- GrooTheWanderer, on 08/31/2008, -0/+27We've developed a fairly effective antidote for the kangaroo venom - there are only about half a dozen fatalities a year now. It's the dropbears you have to watch out for...
- edilclyde, on 08/31/2008, -0/+25sorry for the comment abuse. but
Steve Irwin's Oceans Deadliest covers the stonefish , the cone shell , sea snake , box jellyfish.

RIP STEVE IRWIN - costumemaker, on 08/31/2008, -0/+24those two inches would be enough to make me jump 7 feet if i saw it happen though!
- LongBong, on 08/31/2008, -0/+23***** the war on Terror, we have worst things to deal with. lets start with the snails.
- Someguy101, on 02/19/2009, -0/+23glinsvad I know you know all this stuff already but I thought I'd comment on this for people who may not know what to do if they come across these things. It's important to remember that while these things do live in underwater if you take the right precautions divers can avoid injury and death.
1. The Cone Snail: Don't pick up snails you aren't familiar with and seriously consider leaving ones you are familiar with alone as well.
4. Beaked Sea Snake: Most sea snakes won't bite you unless they are extremely agitated. If you encounter a sea snake just leave it alone and let it go about it's business. Don't touch it.
5. Stone Fish: Practice good buoyancy control and avoid bumping into the bottom. Also if you have to walk shuffle your feet so that you avoid stepping on one, this works for stingrays too.
6. Box Jellyfish: These guys move quickly for a jellyfish but they can't sting you through nylon. If you are going to be diving/swimming in an area where it's possible these are in the water wear a full body dive skin and be on the lookout for them, they have "eyes" and are attracted to light, meaning your dive light if you're diving at night. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUUv2cqDO_M That's a video I made of a relative of the deadly box jellyfish, the jellies in this video aren't lethal but it kind of shows you what it might be like to encounter them.
They left out a bunch of other venomous/potentially dangerous creatures the main thing is that if you don't want to get hurt in the ocean the best thing to do is to leave things alone and don't touch anything that you aren't familiar with. - ricemonster, on 08/31/2008, -0/+21It was in my Recommendations in Upcoming which is on the front page, so technically you're wrong.
- snowskate22, on 08/30/2008, -5/+26you'll ***** bricks!
- wrzhydr, on 08/31/2008, -0/+21I do! And I plan on building a sand castle and staying the ***** out of the water.
- jsdratm, on 08/31/2008, -3/+22Palin in control of the White House
- inactive, on 08/31/2008, -0/+19I like being in Fargo, where the most poisonous animal is a ***** buffalo.
- CatsAreGods, on 08/31/2008, -1/+19It's the 20 GB bandwidth caps that would kill me...
- ImYourRealDad, on 08/31/2008, -1/+18So pretty much stay out of the ocean and Brazil?
- WarnerK, on 08/31/2008, -0/+17In fact, your comment probably helped it reach the front page.
- StuartGibson, on 06/14/2009, -0/+17Are you implying you try to infect spiders, frogs and snails with AIDS?
- ElectroStep, on 08/31/2008, -2/+20You'll drop to the floor in convulsions and start foaming at the mouth.
Ok, it doesn't have quite as good a rign to it, but still. - Natnie, on 08/31/2008, -0/+17Those dropbears are really dangerous. They've killed three of my family members. But they seem to prefer tourists. I don't go near trees nowadays.
- mV0G7, on 08/31/2008, -0/+17http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoQ01XlG0qs
I know of a place you'll never get harmed
A magical place with magical charms
Indoors!
Indoors!!
IIIIINNNNNDOOOOOOORSS! - Bobbister, on 08/31/2008, -2/+18Fail. List doesn't include women.
/i keed, i keed - Vindexus, on 08/31/2008, -0/+16What's your excuse when you're off duty?
- thesmallelderst, on 08/31/2008, -0/+16actually the article said 2 meters. Very different from 2 inches
- jb0nd38372, on 08/31/2008, -1/+16The article was actually very good. The way they described the feeling and symptoms made me cringe at times.
p.s: Do you read Playb..... nevermind. - IdiggUdogg, on 08/01/2009, -0/+15I just learned two things from this thread:
1. There are some deadly creatures out there.
2. People have computers in North Dakota.
Dugg. - davidlick, on 08/31/2008, -0/+14So then we have mutant/zombie/pissed off poisonous creepy crawlies... ***** that.
- thepeacemaker, on 08/31/2008, -1/+15I dove just once (supervised version) and got stung by a jelly twice. The worst part, besides the excruciating pain, was that I had no idea how to tell my instructor under water that I was stung and ask if I was going to survive or not.
- inactive, on 08/31/2008, -1/+14I've always feared the brown recluse. Google images of their victims and you'll see what I mean.
- passedoutghost, on 08/31/2008, -0/+12Yeah, when we were younger me and a few friends went to a school camp out in the bush. One night, we sneaked out of our cabins with flashlights to go into the bush cause we thought it be fun. It wasn't. Poor Steve never made it back alive. His body was found by the teachers the next morning. ***** drop bears.
- brownsound00, on 08/31/2008, -0/+10i think it was pretty well written. it's one of the few list articles i've actually read the whole way through
