|  | primitively archaic Moderator | Join Date: Jan-03 Location: Wagga Wagga NSW 2650 Gender:  | | | | Side winding occurs when some one is fitted with a colostomy bag.The large intestine exits out the side of the abdomen. When there is a build up of gas then it is expelled out the new opening as 'side wind'. Hence the term "side winding".
I don't want to explain what the term "getting a bit on the side " means as this is a family site.

Which Australian specie resembles vipers and why? |

| | Regular Member | Join Date: Jun-03 Location: Sydney | | | | i am having a guess at the deaf adder and why, because of the relevent flatness (appearance) that resembles the vipers. |

| | Old Administrator | Join Date: Jan-03 Location: Sydney south, NSW Age/Gender: 54 | | | | I am giving only 1/2 point to Astrobeca it is death adder. sorry pythonguy44 you misspelled the name of snake.
reason why death adder specie resembles vipers is: Shape, behavior, and mainly large fangs which fold back along the jawline to a limited degree. |
