Most money spent at michelin-starred restaurants whilst someone else is paying.

And I was bitten by a hyrax in the masai mara. which isn't as much of a euphemism as it sounds.

yeah ...
It was used to stealing food from tourists I think, so it was pretty confident/aggressive.

friend of mine was soloing
and was about 4 metres up, above scree. a dassie came at him out of a large crack and he did the manly thing of jumping off and nearly breaking both his ankles

he said it was better than being bitten by the "rabid dassie from hell"

Just noticed I spelt Masai wrong and yet Google still knew what I meant! It's like magic

I hope you're not looking for research jobs....

I know what the masai mara is
Apparently I also know what a hyrax is too.

Oh my god rock dassies are the cutest damn things ever
I had to look up what on earth a hyrax are, and I saw loads of them in Namibia but they were known as dassies.
I have a soft spot for marmots, though, so that might be why I like them so much.
