For what it's worth:
I see about 120 mph for a skydiver's terminal velocity (in the standard flat position with arms/legs out, compared to a Point Break style chase at about 300mph). This article measuring spiders came up with a max of about 1.7 mph (78 cm/s) Ballooning: Data from Spiders in Freefall Indicate the Importance of Posture http://www.americanarachnology.org/J...A_v20_p107.pdf |

Poison Pine
In Australia even the Christmas trees are lethal, in a manner of speaking.

You'll find several pictures there which illustrate the skin colour and texture perfectly. Forgive me for not posting a link, but I'm using my iPad at present which makes the finer points of posting somewhat difficult.

I believe what we've got here is failure to communicate.
Here in the colonies, we call the example on the left Tinsel, and the right Garland. At least in my portion of the colonies.

No, you're all wrong about the stuff on the left. It's called Lametta. The stuff on the right is tinsel. Sent by magic.

Somebody doesn't know tinsel from garland.
And it doesn't look like garland, either. It looks like a snake.

In my portion of the colonies, ain't no such thing as garland. I've heard the word before through media and pop culture references, but never seen it or heard anyone talk about it in person. (The stuff on the left is still tinsel, though.)
