Ok, not really, but an interesting article about venomous fishies fro
today's NYT.

It doesn't surprise me that most of the venomous fish live around
Australia. There is something about that area, and poison. 30 kinds of
venomous sea snakes, 10s of the most poisonous land snakes, poisonous
octopuses, deadly jellyfish (sea wasp), spiders, and even venomous ticks,
inhabit that area. Hell, even the platypus is venomous.
