"Keeping a cat is also a great way to scare off snakes since they are one of their biggest enemies" Well I haven't heard that one before.

Sorry Bezaka, I missed your reply. We don't have a joke thread that I know of, so I'll just put it here, it's not too long, so hopefully mods won't mind
Paddy and Liam were camping in the scrub when Paddy wandered off behind a bush to relieve himself where he was bitten on the family jewels by a snake he'd just stepped on.
He starts hollering, "Liam! Liam! A snake's just bitten me knackers!! Do something!!"
So Liam calls 000 and tells them his mate's just been bitten by a snake. They advise him that the best chance for his friend's survival is to keep him still, restrict bloodflow to the area and try to suck out as much venom as he could because there would be a delay getting a helicopter out to such a remote location.
He walks back to his friend and says "Paddy, my dear boy. I'm so sorry, but they said you're going to die."

This always gets to me when journalists reporting on these don't get this fact right:

"The man suffered minor injuries from the bite; fortunately the snake was not venomous.

Rescue workers responded to the scene and took the man to Rambam Medical Center in Haifa, where he received medical treatment, reports Your Jewish News.

An examination revealed the snake was not poisonous."

I thought, finally someone getting it right - venomous. But then I shouldn't have got too excited, there it is... poisonous. And even then, it is in the same article as both the same? Lol

Venom affects you when it is in the blood stream, poison does when you ingest it. This is why some bars have snake venom because when you drink it, it doesn't affect you.

That reminds me of a something that happened to my father in law when he was visiting a mine site years ago. All visitors are warned about venomous snakes in the area. He went to use the outdoor dunny, starts screaming out that he'd been bitten on his 'area' drawing a lot of concern from everyone nearby.... the culprit...was a green tree frog!
