hot chips is what we called fried chips, and chips are what everyone else calls potato chips/crisps

You should be more worried about the cassowary. They WILL fuck you up good, worse than anything on the list. Most dangerous bird on EARTH.

On my birthday one crawled out of my beach towel onto my shoulder while I was in bathers. I have never screamed so loud in my life.
IFuckingLoveGoldenRetrievers
I had one crawl up my leg as I waited for the bus.
OccamLazer
Dude, huntsman (huntsmen for plural?) spiders are the biggest spiderbros. They just chill in your house and eat all your flies.
MisterHalt
I'd kill to have a huntsman in my house instead of the spiders I'm currently seeing. Five in the last two months, all dangerous looking.
IFuckingLoveGoldenRetrievers
I'm the reverse. The dangerous ones keep to themselves. Huntsmans crawl along the walls.
Thistles
The irony is it was the only harmless one on the list.

So it won't physically kill you, but it will traumatize you and fuck you up that way.

Actually, they do kill people. They jump on your foot while you're driving causing you to crash your car.

It's mildly worse when they run across your windscreen, but you get used to it after a while.

I only use it as a joke, but I very rarely say G'day or mate. It might have something to do with Perth being so dutch and posh.
