Very interesting! Where are they found?
BTW, what are you trying to do? Educate us? That's a real tall order! |

I read somewhere about a fly called a "Screw Fly" that lays 250 eggs at a time and they hatch into larvae and literally eat the victim alive, I think it said they devour a cow in a few days. They like to lay them up your nose and near wounds. They have been none existant in the us for years, but I do hear they had some problems with them in Iraq a few years back, hmmmm I wonder how that happened [:)]

Colonel,
I think you're thinking of the "Banded Lawyer Fly" |

Quoted: Some of the most beautiful shells in the world, the Textile coneshell, and the Geographer cone shell, are also extremely poisonous. IIRC, cone shell venom was the toxin carried by U-2 pilots during the 50's -'60's to off themselves with in the event of capture. the needle was concealed inside a "break-away" quarter. On the subject of nasty critters. (or "stupid things I did when I was younger" or "lucky to still be alive"). My unit was undergoing jungle training down in Panama. The jungle wildlife and scenery was spectacular... especially to a city boy with an interest in nature. While humping the trails I spotted this shiny brilliantly colored iridescent little tree-toad (black with green spots). "Cool" "Check out this MF". I stuck him in the butt trap of my M-16 and carried him in there for a few days with the intention of smuggling it back state side. When he wasn't in the butt stock I kept him in a small container hidden outside. For whatever reason, I decided to give the little guy his freedom and released him. Wasn't till much later that I found out it was a poison arrow frog. Fortunately it was one of the more kinder and user friendly species that didn't kill on skin contact. If I had any open cuts on my hands, it might have been a different story. |

I raise these fish. They are called Frontosa's.
"Cyphotilapia frontosa" I have had 3 batches of baby fry. 1st was 9. 2nd was 30. 3rd was 35. They can grow to be 15" long. [img]http://www.aquaworks.net/frontosa/images/NorthZaire.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.aquaworks.net/frontosa/images/KKigoma.jpg[/img] |

The cone snail poison is one of the deadlest known to man. Can kill in less than a minute. It is also used in extreme diluted portions in sophisticated pain management medicine!

I like reading Tatjanas' posts. I like learning new things whenever I can. Wether or not I will ever run into a mishap with one of these creatures is another thing...Better to know about something and never use the knowledge than to need and not have it.
Keep them coming [:D] |

I don't want to speak for brouhaha, but I think his sig line is Edgar Allan Poe...also spoken by Orson Welles as part of a narrative in the song "A Dream Within A Dream" on the Alan Parsons Project's CD "Tales of Mystery and Imagination: Edgar Allan Poe."

Wow. I'd like to state this is my first post talking to TatJana. I heard she was and I quote:
"A rich beautiful charming elegant stupendous amazing excellent awe-inspiring she-goddess" I sez, "Great. But can she cook?" He goes, "She has jumbo sized breasts and they don't sag, cuz there like anti-gravity equipped" I sez, "Sounds pretty good. But can she clean?" He goes, "Man, she's so hot. I'd love to see her in the nude" I sez, "That's nice, but will she love me?" He goes, "Nah Jojo, you're a hack. Besides, she's to rich for you" I sez, "That's alright, I'm just looking for a simple girl. Somebody that reminds me of my mother." I guess that's it. Say, do you have any pictures? |

[i]And I thought you were talking about yourself![/i]
I remember seeing a show where they were talking about these. Many fisherman and others have died after they picked them up. It has a tongue which it extends from its shell. It has a stinger at the end which contains the venom. Slow but DEADLY! |

LOL, JoJo. Now I understand why garrywoen said
I love this guy, Matt is like the little retarded brother I never had... He sent in his CAV-15 to up-grade to a "Artic White of Justice"... He sent it in a box about 10x bigger then the lower with no packing material and a wad of cash stuck in the mag well! No matter how shitty my day is going, I can look in the GD forume and find some new picture of him or more of his advice to "fuck like rabbits"...Priceless! JoJo, your alright with me!

[>(] I was selling them for $40 a peice. that were 9 mo. old and $20 that were 3 months old. I made a quick $400 in less than a week and kept the rest. At the size I have them at now I could sell them for $60 easy. But will wait. The Bigger they are the more they cost. I've had aquariums since I was a kid, but have only had Frontosa's for 6 years. I've had salt water tanks as well in the past with puffer fish and eels. I dig them. |
