Another "Bastard" of a plant, I looked this up further & this is an ultra wicked plant to come in contact with ! Is this plant common in your area Jim & have you or anyone you know been in contact with the God awful pain inducing plant ?

Thankfully we're too far South for this species Bruce.

Have a look at this guy!


I hope this guy made enough money off of this adventure to compensate him for months long pain. I doubt he'll be doing that again.

That boofhead makes a living going around the world and getting stung/bitten by the worst critters imaginable!

I would be curious to know how a 10HP car pulls a family of 4 around ? The (up to) 40 mpg I can understand, cause it ain't got no dang power 😂

Ten horses, hitched to a wagon, pulled a whole lot of tonnage back in the day.

I have an older Toyota Paseo that makes an excellent little road "skate", and while I'm fairly certain that it has a bit more than ten horsepower, it does get about 40 mpg on a fairly regular basis!

And that's imperial miles to the gallon, convert that to you guys weird :) U.S MPG and it would be a fair bit more.

Don't quite know what you are getting at here Jim?

The "Imperial" mile seems to be the same as the U.S. mile at 5,280 ft. or 1,760 yds or 8 Furlongs or 80 Chains. Now admittedly, your Imperial Gallon is larger than our U.S. Gallon by about 20% so your ten HP car would be getting significantly less mileage on a gallon of gas than my little Paseo, as if I was using Imperial Gallons in it, I'd be getting neigh onto 50 mpg, whereas if your car was using U.S. Gallons it would only be getting about 32 mpg!

I don't quit get your 20 ounce Pint in Imperial measure as I always thought the old English saying was " A Pint is a Pound (16 ounces) the whole world around"?!?!
