Bizarre food site + Australian bushfires

[wraithfodder]

A 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.

I think I gained 20 pounds just looking at those pics on the blog.

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.

TMZ got ripped apart by viewers for their lack of sensitivity (not that they ever had any to begin with). Yeah, the footage of Sam and the firefighter was amazing. I read another article in which some moron stole a firefighters uniform while he took a break and got something to eat. Sigh.
