    On behalf of crazy disinherited ants….we demand a magic resize button.
    Damn it FD. We can’t even read their piteous little cries for justice.

    Is there no mercy for the ageing blind demographic at Crikey? :cool:

    First Dog, some clarification is required. Is that Asian Wolf Snake standing as a Family First Candidate? There are too many snakes in Canberra already.

    @MJ How is Dusty being brought back to life, with jumper leads or zombie voodoo?

    Surely the real question, Holden, is why?

    Those ants need to go back to where they come from, especially if they say ‘oink’. Weird ants. Though, this could just be a misunderstanding, coz I can’t read the damn things no matter how much I upsize/increase/magnify.

    You call that a giant centipede? Google Amazonian Giant centipede.

    I nearly sat on one and damned nearly died of fright. Shudder, shudder :twisted:

    Not at all cool.

    Is that the Abbott’s Booby who was the Liberal candidate in Chifley? I’m confused: the Pipistrelle Bat looks more like the former candidate.

    Vernise, keep in mind the largeness of the Amazon and the smallness of Xmas Is. Giant is a relative term, as no doubt the ants in panel 2 will agree.

    @INNOCENT UNTIL. ‘Til the last drag queen of a certain age bites the dust, the why takes care of itself.

    Didn’t Senator Steve make a hush hush visit to Pakghanistan?

    JOHN BENNETTS: I wasn’t comparing Christmas Island with the Amazonian forest.

    Rather, I was telling a certain canine of a hideous experience I had when I almost sat on a Giant Amazonian Centipede. To give you an idea of its size, a mature one is about the size of a man’s arm in thickness, and almost as long as my arm.

    Despite their colourful appearance they meld in with the surrounding forest to perfection. Which is why I almost sat on it.

    Mind you, I once saw one of those giant Gippsland earthworms, and nearly died of fright.

    Cheers

    Venise

    Someone might have spared a thought I myself had walked into the ocean as @PADDY. :neutral:

    I have been to Bordertown and I went to find if I could escape there and be happy to live on. :???:

    There was one of those Giant Centipede toys in a rummage basket in the Salvos thrift shop. :oops:

    It looked so real in the half light. :shock:

    After that scare I just had to pop on back around the corner for my spectacles I left in my hotel. :cool:
