message: This article is one of thousands on Wikipedia that have a link to YouTube in it.  Based on the External links policy, most of these should probably be removed.  I'm putting this message here, on this talk page, to request the regular editors take a look at the link and make sure it doesn't violate policy.  In short: 1. 99% of the time YouTube should not be used as a source. 2. We must not link to material that violates someones copyright.  If you are not sure if the link on this article should be removed, feel free to ask me on my talk page and I'll review it personally.  Thanks. ---J.S (t|c) 07:21, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

message: "Death adders were originally called 'deaf adders' by early settlers of Australia.[22]"
I don't doubt that, but I've come across a Biblical quote that seems to far predate them:
* They are as venomous as the poison of a serpent; even like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ears; Which refuseth to hear the voice of the charmer: charm he never so wisely. (Psalm 58, my bolding).  --  Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 22:26, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Said biblical quote cannot possibly refer to the snake in question, as at the time of that translation, none of its authors could conceivably have encountered one. The King James Version was published in 1611, Janszoon encountered Australia only in 1606. The KJR being a translation of text likely published BCE 1058, it is impossible for it to be referring specifically to an Australian snake. Your quote is malapropos.
