The picture above was of an orchidometer, a tool for estimating the volume of testicles (orchis is greek for testicle (to be confused with orchids, which are named so because they look like testicles (the root (of the flower)))).
As I said, the picture was from Australia, but I have no idea if that's significant or not. Here are some more information about down under:
Australia is one of the safest places in the world, with a murder rate of 2 per 100,000 people. Right. Also:
- There are 1,500 species of Australian spiders (including the worlds most deadly ones (for instance the funnel spider)).
- Out of the top 25 deadliest snakes in the world, 20 ((deadly)snake species) are found in Australia
- Australia has the world’s largest population of wild single hump camels.
- The deadliest jellyfish in the world is found off the Australia coast.
- The most dangerous ant in the world are the Australian Bulldog Ant, (which is up to 4 centimetres long (which is yeecchy (according to pibbur)))
- Eric Bana is Australian
New South Wales is inhabited by cockroaches.
If the rails of the Ghan((not)burighan) train track weren't restrained properly, on a hot Outback desert day they would expand at 200km/hour. Which seems a lot (not sure I believe it). However, it's also said that the railway station of Darwin, presumably also Darwin itself (surely the railways is properly fixed to the city), would stick out 1.1 km into the ocean (which, compared to 200km/h (not sure I believe it)seems fairly modest). Unless Australians are very different from Europeans (Scandinavians (Norwegians)) I'm sure that a significant part of the people down there would consider this to be good.
Vegemite is made from yeast ((brewers)leftovers) and is common around Australia. They eat it, despite it being one of the grossest things ever eaten by humans.
