The mere idea of praying scares the hell out of me  ;D
 
Asteroids, zombies, all the same thing.  Apocolypse preparations underway.  Who's laughing now.

..Quick action by doctors save B.C. man from potentially-deadly snake bite

VANCOUVER - A British Columbia man who suffered a potentially-deadly snake bite in Costa Rica is recovering in a Vancouver hospital thanks to the quick work of a medical team and an emergency flight to Seattle to pick up an anti-venom drug.

The 61-year-old Metro Vancouver man was bitten by a poisonous snake while walking along a beach, and quickly developed symptoms ranging from the swelling of his leg and bleeding from his nose and eyes to kidney failure.

He was flown back to Vancouver where staff at Vancouver General Hospital and the B.C. Drug and Poison Information Centre managed to identify the kind of snake and began the search for an anti-venom drug.

The centre's director, Dr. Roy Purssell, says the drug was found at the Seattle zoo and an air ambulance was dispatched within hours to pick it up.

He says once the drug was administered the patient began to improve almost immediately.

The man is now listed in stable condition in hospital.

I'm still more afraid of snakes than asteroids! At least I can avoid snakes.

I whistled while looking at the photo. My arachnophobic wife asked me what I was looking at. Now that scared me!

A North Vancouver father and daughter are dead after a boulder fell on their tent, killing both occupants inside, while they were camping on Blackcomb Mountain.

The 49-year-old dad and his 10-year-old daughter went up the mountain Saturday for an overnight camping trip and ski tour.

They were reported missing Sunday night after they missed a scheduled check-in a couple hours before.
The bodies were found by search crews at about 11 a.m. Monday inside a tent located above an area called “The Windlip.”

My candidate if I ever return to the southern americas: the candiru fish.

Swims up your urethra if you are urinating in the water, jams tiny barbs out of it's side to lock itself in, and proceeds to eat it's surroundings in search of a vein. We simply called them dickfish.
 
When I was doing some geophysics with my brother in Venezuela, I wore a condom for that very reason as we were wading through water quite a bit.

Well I believe in God, and the only thing that scares me is Keyser Soze.
