That's from the original Masks campaign, not an original creation of my own. But glad we could help!

2015-09-21 04:46:28 +0000 UTCHey I learnt something new from this one! We don't have rabies in Australia so I assumed that whole 'club of rabid bat teeth' thing was just bad research. But it turns out in NSW and QLD there are bats that have Australian bat lyssavirus, a rabies like virus that's only infectious to bats, horses and (you guessed it) people. And it will totally kill you (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_bat_lyssavirus)" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_bat_lyssavirus)</a> though it's pretty goddamn rare. I was born and raised in Australia and up until this point I thought I knew all the ways my beloved homeland wanted to kill me. Thanks RPPR for teaching me there's always something else to fear!

2015-09-18 02:10:36 +0000 UTCI mean locally we just call them snakes, the deadly bit is redundant. <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/sep/16/yet-another-deadly-snake-species-discovered-in-australia" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/sep/16/yet-another-deadly-snake-species-discovered-in-australia</a>
