      The British TV naturalist Terry Nutkins had two fingers bitten off by an attacking otter. They're strong buggers with a powerful bite.

        Honey badgers. Check 'em out.
        One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.

          Honey Badgers are spawn of Satan. There was just an article on Cracked about a lot of these animals.



          Go to 2:15.

          As Cracked describes:

          One particular honey badger got hungry, so he went to find a nice meal. Now, he could snuffle around in the dirt all night, looking for the safest food source, but that sounds hard, and it might take a while. So instead, he opts to piss all over the very concept of survival instincts, and just eats the first damn thing he comes across. Unfortunately, it happens to be a puff adder -- one of the deadliest snakes in the world.

          The badger stumbles across the snake midway through its own meal, so what's a badger to do? Why, steal the food straight from the death-serpent's jaws, of course, and then sit down to eat the snake's stolen meal right in front of him, while he furiously spits and hisses. When the badger finishes the snake's dinner, he's still a bit peckish, so he walks right over to the still-furious snake and mauls it to death, sustaining multiple bites in the process. Ignoring the deadly poison coursing through his veins, the badger settles in and starts eating the puff adder. Tragically, a few minutes later, he collapses.

          And so ends the story of this honey badger, who died as he lived, spitting in the face of mortalit- what's that? He's back up? Holy ****! Two hours pass, and the badger miraculously resurrects himself from apparent death! He's been given a second chance at life! A second chance to ...

          Go right back and continue eating that snake.

            He's no longer on the loose. The otter has been found dead.

            Floridians can once again venture outdoors.

                  I was talking to a keeper at London Zoo once, and they really hate the otters. Vicious buggers. Randy too. I once watched all them having an almighty, squirming orgy.

                    I'm a little unnerved by your use of "watched" instead of "saw" there. I assume no video camera was involved?

                      Blah, Elok? What is wrong with watched? You can watch something. What does a Town Watch do? Saw implies it was quick and casual. Watch means Cort Haus was really into it. I bet he was. All those squirmy rodent-like bodies swarming over each other and humping. That's what you're into, Cort Haus, you sick Brit?

                        Al, Elok manged to express in less than one line what you had to use three lines to do.
                        With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

                          oh. I thought he was taking issue with syntax. Went over my head clearly.

                            I'm seriously suspecting he doesn't have a grasp of anything beyond what's literally written.
