I guess someone couldn't go more than seven year without a McDonald's burger so they had one sent to Iceland from Hungary.

"Someone sends an entire McDonalds hamburger to Iceland in the mail" Story: english : icelandic

But, why from Hungary ? There's definitely McDonalds closer to Iceland than Hungary D:

I was oddly relieved to hear that they let it through. Imagine going to that trouble and then not even getting to eat it anyway...

It's McDonald's so I don't doubt it tasted the same after, what, two weeks in transit?

Good on them. Enjoy yourselves. ;P

Wait what?! I'm hoping there are non-dangerous species and it was one of those. Can you figure out how it got in? My sympathies, I certainly wouldn't be okay after something like this either.
Eek, I hope it wasn't too dangerous as well. D: It was only about an inch and a half long, but I just read that the smaller ones are typically more venomous.

I'm thinking it might've gotten in through the vents or garage? But it might've actually been here for a couple weeks, we just moved into this house and the door was open all day while we were bringing stuff in. Ughhhh, we're gonna have a pest control guy come in soon, so I really hope that takes care of it and I won't have to worry about any more.

Speaking of McDonald's never going bad there is at least one more McD burger in Iceland right now. In fact you can watch it here live right now.


Anyway... "Man the 5 o'clock traffic is insane" I thought to myself today, sitting in my car, alone, in traffic, at 5 o'clock.
I should probably take the bus. I don't like driving my tin can of a car anyway. Plus it's cheaper. It will mean I will take much longer to get to work and back home since I work in Reykjavík but live outside of it but it's probably gonna be worth it.

Johannabelle, where are you in the world? And what did the scorpion look like? Good odds it wasn't deadly - most scorpion stings aren't much worse than a bee or wasp sting, unless you are allergic. There are deadly scorpions, but most of those live in deserts or forests.

Ah, I'm in Arizona now, near Phoenix. It was a sand colored one, and it was pretty small at just an inch and a half. Regardless of whether or not it was deadly, I still really don't want to see another one, haha.

*decides against mentioning the rule of thumb on scorpion sizes, colors and toxicity*

Eh.. it's dead so nothing to worry about anyway.

If you really want to know what kind of scorpion it was, this page - which includes pictures of scorpions oh god don't look - may help.

If you'd rather remain in ignorance, I can't blame you :)

Johannabelle: I do hope it wasn't a bark scorpion! In Phoenix, as here in Australia, it is sensible to always remember to shake out shoes and gloves before putting them on, and to never put your hands anywhere you can't see them. I have both scorpions and centipedes in my garden, but it's not a problem since I actually like the creatures. But I still don't put my hands where I can't see them! Good luck in your new place, and I hope you don't see too many other alarming creatures!

Wyrm, thank you for putting up those pages of beautiful scorpions! They are lovely - such good close-ups.

What's the fun of life if you don't have venomous sneks to worry about? Just remember no step on snek and you'll be fine.
