Bikini atoll just a guess.

No. You were warmer with just reef. What other kinds of reefs are there? Atolls, fringing, ...

 

[wolram]

Barrier reef, is that how you spell barrier?

 

[honestrosewater]

Barrier reef, is that how you spell barrier?

Yes and yes.
Any barrier reefs spring to mind? The first one should do...

 

[wolram]

Yes and yes.
Any barrier reefs spring to mind?

No not much ever springs in my mind, all my guesses have come from watching
the discovery channel.

 

[wolram]

Hang on, the great barrier reef just sprang ouch.

 

[honestrosewater]

You've probably heard of this barrier reef- it's a great one. And when I say great, I mean great.

 

[honestrosewater]

Okay, great. So where is the Great Barrier Reef?

 

[wolram]

Okay, great. So where is the Great Barrier Reef?

Australia i think.

 

[honestrosewater]

Australia i think.

Right. The place is Australia. All of these things are venomous. Stonefish is one. You just need:

A crownless king that is black but not by name.
A wingless wasp that is also a box with no lid.

If you don't already know them- and if you know about venomous things in Australia, you should know about these two things- google should turn them up.

 

[wolram]

Snakes? king cobra wasp snake. or crate snake.

 

[honestrosewater]

Snakes? king cobra wasp snake. or crate snake.

No but king cobra is the right idea. ...the other clue about the king?

I think all the cobras are in Africa? Nope, I was wrong.

 

[honestrosewater]

Did you ever google the wasp and box?

 

[wolram]

Spiders, i am really guessing now.

 

[wolram]

Or jelly fish, i was stung by one but not in australia.

 

[Danger]

Did they fall?
Actually, nevermind.

..

 

[honestrosewater]

Yes, the box jellyfish a.k.a. sea wasp.

The last one is a snake. Part of its name is 'king'. Part of its name is a color other than black. It also goes by another name rhyming with... nothing much.

That was a guess so i don't deserve a win, anyone have a clue? if not i
will have to research one.

Hold on speedracer. You still need the name of the snake.

 

[wolram]

Where is everyone? never a brain about when you need one

 

[honestrosewater]

Are you not googling anymore? Okay, you can guess it. The name is two words: king [color other than black]. If you watched US football and were from Cleveland you could guess the color...

 

[wolram]

Ive been through the rainbow and the only one that fits is kingbrown but I am not sure if it is venemous.

 

[DocToxyn]

King Brown, Pseudechis australis, also known as a Mulga, actually one of the Black snake family.

At first I was going for Scarlet Kingsnake, until I found the poisonous clue. It's close though, it does have black on it and it "pretends" to be poisonous.

Cleveland brown socks?

 

[honestrosewater]

Cleveland brown socks?

Cleveland Browns. The sock teams are in baseball.

Oh, this is correct, BTW.

I wonder how many other poser snakes there are. There are snakes that pose as rattlers. That's all I can think of.

Well, I guess wolram was right first and got the other clues... you want it wolram?

 

[wolram]

The major find was in the gap between the putty layers. A cement vault was discovered. The vault itself was 7 feet high with 7 inch thick walls. Inside the vault the drill first struck wood, then a void several inches high and an unknown substance. Next a layer of soft metal was reached, then almost 3 feet of metal pieces, and then more soft metal.

This is the money pit on Oak Island. they'd given up digging, and started boring by this point.

 

[matthyaouw]

Actually, they seem not to have given up at digging through. This was in 1897, after the flooding of the pit.
