This is Totally Whack!!!

Was reading the country guide book for the area of Africa I am going to. One variety of deadly Cobra is not enough for this place. They need THREE!!!! What is up with that. The book also reported that in addition to black scorpions, centipedes, and millipedes, their are also several varieties of "large, physically imposing tarantulas". People will know when I find a large, physically imposing spider because they will hear me screaming like a little sissy girl!!!!! Sometimes I think I would rather be out with my pards defending the sunny south from the yankee hordes. Oh well, I hope to be home for most of the 1864/2004 reenactment season.
