Rabies is virtually eradicated in the UK. Bats and imported animals are a potential risk, but the chance of a squirrel having rabies is nearly zero.
You are defending the murder of children.
Video of the speech from ABC. The award was for best scripted variety series. Music starts at 0:58, so I guess they're allotted a minute.
The Sarah McLachlan joke is presumably because she's an animal rights activist, and appeals for donations are normally set over somber orchestral music?
It's a lot funnier without the caption.
I went up from the Jordan unto Bethel. And as I was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked me and said unto me, “Go up, thou bald head! Go up, thou bald head!” And I turned back and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth Ganon out of the wood, and tore forty and two children of them.
Robert Molesworth in a session on 12th August 1720:
in his Opinion, they ought, on this Occasion, to follow the Example of the ancient Romans, who having no Law against Parricide [...] adjudg'd the guilty Wretch to be thrown alive, sew'd up in a Sack, into the Tyber. [...] As he look'd upon the Contrivers and Executors of the villainous South Sea Scheme, as the Parricides of their Country, he should be satisfy'd to see them undergo the same Punishment.
No specific mention of snakes, but that was part of the Roman "punishment of the sack".
Ed Balls
They're both men, but neither of them are Men.

Thanks - looking forward to it!
Who knew botflies could be cute?
Description: an adult deer botfly (Cephenemyia stimulator) on a rock. Its body is covered with fur-like cetae, yellow and black, resembling a bumblebee a little. Its eyes are large and black.
This ancient Dwemer freehold straddles the border of the Grazelands and the Ashlands, and served historically as an important neutral ground for diplomatic talks. Its remaining inhabitants are not so eager for polite conversation.

A sliding scale of shields: Imperial Dragonscale shield set concepts, by Vitaly Muzyka.
This set of shields might not protect you from bad puns, but the formidable and rare set includes a size for every player, from a buckler for parrying to a tower shield to make you a moving fortress.
See more details on Vitaly’s ArtStation: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/xDN9rr
Description: conceptual drawings of three intricately-worked shields, with front and back views and a sketched three-quarter view of each. Each are dragonscale with metal inlay. The buckler, shield, and tower shield all bear a mean spike on the boss. The handles are wrapped with red cloth.
A good point made badly. "Personally, bad English is such a turn off" would have made even less sense.
