    The most venomous snake on earth is the Inland Taipan which lives in central Australia.

    It is 50 times more venomous than a Indian Cobra, and 750 times more venomous than an Eastern Diamondback.

    Bonus fact of the day: A few years ago there were only 4 elk in all Dane County. My friend's roommate hit one of them with his car and it was totaled (both car and elk).
