There is a plan afoot from those Aussies to take over Europe. They are sneaking in, using the problems within EU as cover.
The latest intrusion is a kangaroo running loose in Belgium. Cops had to use helicopters to find it and get it into a zoo.
This is the second attack using kangaroos. There is one running loose in Sweden too. It has never been seen, but it is out there somewhere, just waiting to attack.
Strange how such an animal can travel 600 km in 12 hours. That´s as far apart as it has been observed.

Re: OT: And you thought the world was sane...
 

60 mph? you sure?

Kangaroo endurance.

Umm... modern olympists might go 20-25 MPH, certainly not 60... it is impossible for a human being to run anywhere near 60 MPH for any period of time (unless you do silly things like have them run on a fast moving automated sidewalk thingie)...

Re: OT: And you thought the world was sane...
 

In crowded areas, it's faster to walk on the ground than to go on those conveyer things. A bunch of people jam onto the conveyer and once you get on, you can't move. If you just walk at a normal pace beside the converyer, you can go faster than those things.

You can usually get upstairs faster by using the stairs than using the escalator or elevator, too. Also, you get some exercise.
