Default OT: Australia, safest continent on the planet

In Australia, our snakes are so big, they need a Police escort.

LOL. I wonder if he had to pay for the "Oversized Load Permit" and the "Escort Fee?"

Checklist if I ever go to Australia:

If I go boating? Bring out a Vietnam-era PBR, get the engines overhauled and upgun it....30mm ASP autocannon fore and a M2HB/Mk19 combo aft should do it for those damn crocs. Bring several crates of Mk3A2 grenades to deal with the sharks.

Driving around the outback...LAV-25 with the 25mm Bushmaster cannon. See if I can bolt on a couple TOW or Javelin AT missiles on the gun turret, just in case...

Personal protection...M4 carbine with the M203 attachment, and a scoped M14 EBR to deal with the critters. And a flamethrower.

Note to self....may need to add to this list.

The Continent is trying to kill people. Its not exactly safe. But I bet it would be fun! If they actually let you have guns there.
