If you were on safari in a rain forest, savanna, or desert what creature would you least like to wake up in the morning and find inhabiting your shoe when you go to put it on?

If you aren't the field type, then assume that you've spent the night at the zoo or aquarium and a creature escaped and is inhabiting your shoe when you wake up.

I keep saying to forumites: please do not post when you are high. :D

How on earth did you come up with this thread?
 
What I'm curious about is David - how big are your shoes if you can fit them into them :O

Also a few of those I wouldn't mind being in my shoe - because personally I do not take my shoes underwater unless I have to ;)
 
David - can you clarify the question, please? Do we find the creature in our shoe when we look in the shoe, or by putting it on and feeling something really sharp sinking into the flesh?

:p

I only get high on life nanoboy:)

The idea came from a "Far Side" cartoon. Two scientists are in the jungle at a field camp. One dumps out his boot before putting it on and pours out a pile of scorpions, snakes, ants, and other nasty things. The other scientist has put on his boot and is wide-eyed because he forgot to empty it.

I leave the interpretation up to you guys, but I would look in the shoe first based on the "Far Side" cartoon referenced above.
 
Hilarious poll! I chose the green mamba.
 
I chose the llama, as this video reinforces the violent nature of Llamas. (Some parts may be a bit offensive if you're really sensitive.)

Ok, I can understand the inspiration for the thread but surely you need to be smoking something to come up with the poll options. :D
 
Picked the Green Mambo, for the main reason I can chase you pretty quickly if you annoyed it bt removing it from it's 'home'.
 
I said "Sparkly Vampire", because I couldn't get excited finding something fictitious in my boot. I'd be very excited to find any of the other things (although I'd be disappointed about the condition of my boot if I found an incontinent llama).

Actually, David is displaying the characteristic mindset of a bonafide animal-person/scientist.

:p

I voted funnel-web spider because I grew up on a dairy farm and if I had a dollar for every time there was a huntsman in my gumboots I'd have quite a nice little sum.
 
There is nothing that Mother Nature could throw at me that would be more repulsive than Twilight's sparkly vampires. Ugh. Not that I'd like to meet an incontinent llama either...

We could use more polls like this around here :p
