Friendly reminder of this absolute legend.

Holy crap, front page! Thanks! I'll just shamelessly pimp out my friend's twitch channel, she's a sweetheart and deserves it. She's new to it and mainly plays overwatch.

True, but the reason y Norman Reedus (aka Daryl) is crying is because Michael Rooker's character (Merle) aka Yandu himself became zombiefied

Much as I loved the guy's TV, the only thing that surprised me about his death was that it didn't happen sooner.

Yeah, but a sting ray to the heart? I'm pretty sure this is a simulation we are all living in because of this.

Germaine Greer observed that every animal he ever encountered was distressed. I'm with the stingray.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 29

Some individual animals may have been distressed, but his work to create appreciation & preserve entire species far overshadows that.

8 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Yes, because the end justifies the means.

That was dangerous. They defeated the army!

I would like to point out that it was a surprise to the Australians that the emus would run away after shooting machine guns at them

The official podcast talked about it if you wanna find out about it and have some laughs. They start talking about it at the very beginning.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

a nuisance wildlife management - military operation - undertaken in Australia over the latter part of 1932 . The army lost.

8 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 1

The army gave up, Emu's are bullet resistant and the had threatened to bring in the Cassowaries.

If Steve Irwin had been around during the Emu Wars, Australia would have won. Sadly he came after in a wasteland of fear and ecological need

He would’ve sided with the emus though

I think you are referring to a casowary.

Nah, the cassowary has a bigger claw but the emu has a slightly harder kick

Emus and cassowaries are about as dangerous as each other. https://farm6.static.flickr.com/5523/11257386883_7ae6268f31_b.jpg

But do Emu’s have the same “GO FUCK YOUR MOTHER!” temperament as the Cassowary?
