No, the 'ban' was to minimize events such as that at Port Arthur a few years ago when one moron killed 30 or more people in a hour or two. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Arthur_massacre_%28Australia%29 It's not a ban, as such - just a limitation on certain types of firearms. It involved a "

Re: OT: ROTFLMAO

Obviously you've never seen a python (or a chihuahua), in action. Unless the dog has had a close encounter with a snake it will have no fear. The snake can be very fast over short distances and only needs to grab part of the dog after that it's all over. I once witnessed an initial encounte

Excuse me but there is something I'm not quite getting here. Dog = fairly mobile, should do a good 20mph even a small ratlike one. Python = large but slow out of water. Let's say about 2 or 3 mph? On the other hand, if the mobile dog couldn't escape the ponderous python, then Darwin does indeed
