    Claws on front feet contain poison. Can't remember why but I'd assume it's
    a self defence thing...

    Almost everything in Australia seems to be poisonous it seems. Apart
    from cats. And man do they get a right royal kicking.

  7. In honour of the day, and if I can remember it properly, that should
    be "up-jumped, never-come-down product of a misalliance between a rabid
    sea-serpent and a half-caste sailor's mongrel bloody dog!"

    I didn't know that it was a specific reference.

    Google has failed me.

    So where did it come from?
