They say it was a hardware issue...or possibly some shoddy equipment...they aren't really sure...the minds at NASA are at a loss over the mishap.

Here's one theory:

We have moths...dangerous for furniture. I don't think there are any poisonous insects in the UK, but is the Black Widow native? [addsig]

Dunno who had the signature with "Blame it on Microsoft, God does.", but we could use this here.

And yay said NASA as thine rover road across the baren red land. Duth to thine's OS God said "NAY" and smited the mechanical beast.

NASA cried "Why oh mighty lord has though forsaken us?"

God replied "Because I felt like it you pissant."

NASA: "Oh, you prick!"

God:"Oh yeah?"

Insert comment about Jerry Fowell.

NASA's computers re-booted thine rovers flash memory, by-passing the electronic locus sent by thy lord . . .

God:"Be forwarned, the heating ducks of thine rover will fail, don't come bitching to me when it happens. . ."

The End . . . ?

it's not an insect, and i dont know it's 'real' name, but the jenny-long-legs (as i know it) is poisonous. not to be confused with the crane fly(the flying long legs) it's the spider that looks like a ball of fluff with over-sized legs.

i remember watching one of those atenborough type programs that claimed the jenny-long-legs had venom 10x stronger than the black widow, but its teeth were so tiny that the are no danger to anything other than small insects. but it still made me think twice about pulling off any more legs.

"Jenny long legs"? we call them "daddy long legs" here.

Theyre usually the least of your problems in Aus, you dont often see bugs that can kill you in the cities, but they are really all over the place. I once saw a funnel-web spider, I think theyre the most poisonous spider in the world, or something like that.

Usually, though, the critters only kill tourists, who go out into the bush. Or, those who go to the beach, with all those stingy octopus, sharks etc.

Bah, octopi aren't dangerous. Neither are most sharks for that matter.

Bugs that kill? I've seen Poisonous beetles, Small roach-sized scorpions, leeches in the watery areas, Venomous centipedes, Some flying bugs that give you a sting enough to have you hospitalized... heck, I've even seen a Monitor Lizard up close (Komodo Dragon, to some). Snakes are not uncommon at all, though the poisonous varieties stay away generally.
