FactBoy rides again

Clearing away the fog of ignorance, blazing like a beacon of hope and spreading knowledge to all Fact Boy strides forward yet again, cape billowing, trumpets playing.


- Australia is home to the largest number of venomous snakes in the world.

- The Fierce Snake or Inland Taipan has the most toxic venom of any snake. Maximum yield recorded (for one bite) is enough to kill over 100 people or 250,000 mice.

- The Box Jellyfish is considered the world's most venomous marine creature. The box jellyfish has killed more people in Australia than stonefish, sharks and crocodiles combined.

- The Sydney Funnelweb spider is considered the world's most deadly spider. It is the only spider that has killed people in less than 2 hours. Its fangs are powerful enough to bite through gloves and fingernails.

From whence does Fact Boy come? Could he be someone you know?
How does he do it? Is it true that he investigates each fact himself?

These questions and more won't be answered next installment
Instead he will continue to bring you the facts that you need to know.

Fact.
