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.

Sam is cute isn't she. The picture being sold will raise funds for the Country Fire Authority volunteer firies. They even get made redundant whilst fighting bushfires, although to be honest the whole section was outsourced. Bad timeing or what?).
And I bought the picture because the boys and girls of the CFA need support as well.

Redundant? As in laid off? Ack, outsourcing. Never a good thing.
