I thought in passing that maybe the Wombats just ate too many apples (grin).

It’s getting a square peg out of a round hole that’s the trick. The reverse is probably harder.

They want to splice the gene into chickens so they can lay cube-shaped eggs.

” This ability to form relatively uniform, clean cut feces is unique in the animal kingdom,” Dr. Carver said.”

So it’s possible to pick up Wombat poo by the clean end?

Sphincter control happens. Must be something they eat.

Best our dogs can do is small clumps of milk-dud like stuff.

zit’s not impossible. I knew a person who was in the bathroom at work on day when a large steel panel from a nearby tower blew off, and pierced the roof not far from where he was perched.

He claimed he had a turd with a square end. too.

There is no trick, though I had to ask the family if they wanted to give out the real secret they just stacked up on the idea and blocked me from saying anything that would expose the truth of the Sacred Tomb Builders of the Farteast.

Youngest has no sense of humour hehehe

"The Minister of Technology (cut to photograph of minister with a wombat on his shoulder) met the three Russian leaders today (Russian leaders again all with wombats on their shoulders) to discuss a £4 million airliner deal. None of them were indigenous to Australia, carried their babies in pouches or ate any of those yummy eucalyptus leaves. Yum, yum. That's the news for wombats, and now Attila the Bun!"

Oh my word! Who chooses to study poo? I don’t think I am going to listen much to those that choose to study poo. The closest I get to studying poo is keeping a sharp lookout for it so I don’t step in it.

A woman took her child to the zoo close to Christmas Time. They got to the monkey exhibit where the zookeepers had put nuts in bowls for a Christmas treat. The woman was grossed out by one monkey who would take a nut from the bowl, stick it up his rectum, remove it and then eat it. A nearby zookeeper recognized the woman’s reaction from the look on her face. He told her, “well ma’am, it actually makes some sense. A few weeks back a visitor tossed him a peach. He ate it whole and couldn’t pass the pit. Now he tries everything on for size.”
