wraithfodderA couple interesting links.
First, just looking at this blog will probably add ten pounds. Whoa, I cannot believe the vending machines. I'd say "surely they can't exist?!" but I'm sure they do. The blog is "Why You're Fat." ;)
Next, video of the now famous Koala named Sam, who was found in a burned out forest in Australia. There's an article here and if you just Google 'sam the koala', well, you'll find a ton. Sam, a female koala by the way, is now at an animal center with Bob, another koala. He also got singed in the fires.
Here's a photo snerched off the Reuters site of Sam and Bob:
There is an article on Sam and the firefighter being reunited at The Herald Sun.
The Australian Red Cross is soliciting help here. Nearly 200 people have died; over one million animals are estimated to have perished in the bushfires. AnimalAid is soliciting help and more for wildlife and pets.

Date: 2009-02-12 12:33 pm (UTC)I heard about the flooding in Queensland - people running over crocodiles on roads. Too bad all that water can find its way over to Victoria. I hadn't realized Dengue Fever was a risk. Bad news!
Re: Thankyou Wraithfodder
Date: 2009-02-13 08:29 am (UTC)I thought I would keep your good self and readers apprised on the sheer size of the floods in Queensland, water is covering 60% of the state, to context that for folks who know how big Texas is, the water covers an area 1.5 times the size of the Lone Star State
You've probably heard that a male person, aged 39 years has been charged with lighting one of the fires, his identity has been suppressed, more at >> http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,25047001-952,00.html thanks - gasbo

Date: 2009-02-12 04:37 am (UTC)Awww those Koala's are so cute! My heart melted at the photo of the Koala drinking water from the bottle. I was watching TMZ last night and they made fun of Sam for drinking bottled water...shame on them for not getting the story right before opening their big mouths. I shouldn't be surprised though.
