(which I've been duty bound to bring to the attention of our old Fodors sparring partner Cholmondley_Warner on account of his fixation with our bum biting spiders during the late and sad Ashes defence - see his Ashes thread on the Lounge forum.)

"And with electrically warmed toilet seats in almost every home, it may be best for the Japanese to check carefully before sitting."

I have heard of a female roo chased into water trying to drown a dog but there were too many dogs. The roo died and the first dog into the water was put down. I think it highly unlikely that the females would attack a human on the ground. they put there effort into intraspecies conflict and raising their social status.
