A koala was sitting in a gum tree smoking a joint when a little lizard walked past, looked up and said, "Hey Koala! What you doing, bro?"
The koala said, "Smoking a J, come up and have some." So the little lizard scurried up and sat next to the koala where they enjoyed a few spliffs. After a while the little lizard had a horror case of the dry's and said he was going to get a drink from the river but the little guy was so stoned that he leaned over too far and fell into the river. A crocodile saw this and swam over to the little lizard and helped him to the side. He asked the little lizard, "What's the matter with you?" The little lizard explained to the crocodile that he had been sitting with the koala in the tree, smoking a joint, but got too stoned and fell into the river while taking a drink. The crocodile said that he had to check this out and walked into the rain forest, found the tree where the koala was sitting finishing another joint. The crocodile looked up and said, "Hey you!" The koala looked down at him and said, "Shiiiiiiiiiiit dude... how much water did you drink?!?"

Seriously, how awesome would it be to smoke a spliff with a fucking koala? Especially if that koala could talk?

As they are trotting along, they come across an elephant doing big fat lines of charlie on a mirror. The rabbit says "Elephant Elephant. Why do you do such drugs? come run with us instead and become fit." So the elephant stops and goes running with the two; after a while, they run into a lion preparing a syringe of smack. "Lion Lion" cries the rabbit, "why are you destroying your body with drugs? join our merry band and run with us instead." The lion with a mighty roar squashes the little rabbit to smithereens. "No!" the giraffe and the elephant cry. "Why did you do that? all Rabbit was trying to do was to help you out!" The Lion exclaims: "This fucking crazy rabbit always makes me hop along all around this wanky forest when he's on acid and I've had enough of his trippy bullshit!" Why are all rabbit jokes about other animals finding one, then following him?

I was on my way to Lodge one evening when we drove into some very thick fog. We slowed right down, following the white lines that ran down the centre of the road.
All of a sudden we felt a heavy bump. I stopped the car and reversed back a couple of yards. There in the headlights lay a hare, spread-eagled and flat! I was terribly upset. My companion reached over into the back seat, grabbed a plastic carrier bag and leapt out of the car. He went up to the hare, pressed his head close and then took a can out of the bag, shook it three times, pointed it at the hare and got back into the car. Within seconds the hare twitched, staggered to its feet and hobbled off four or five steps, turned its head, looked back and waved! It carried on doing this until it reached the edge of the beam from my headlights and disappeared. I was amazed I can tell you. "Did you see that?" I asked my friend. "What ever did you do to it?" "Its just unbelievable - I know it was dead by the weight of the bump!" "Maybe, but I knew I'd got just the thing", replied my friend, "It was a can of hair restorer with a permanent wave"

those crazy Kiwis!
This place in New Zealand, Tetaumatawhakatangihangakoauaotamateaurehaeaturipukapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu, which translates roughly as The summit where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, the climber of mountains, the land-swallower who travelled about, played his nose flute to his loved one has 92 letters, and has been entered into the Guinness Book of Records as the longest officially recognized place name in an English-speaking country. It is the second longest place name in the world. In comparison, according to the Guinness Book of Records, the world's longest place name is Bangkok's full ceremonial name given by King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke, and later edited by King Mongkut, nearly doubles that and is called "Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Yuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit." Those crazy Thais. |

Once upon a time, there was a river. The Nile River, to be exact. On one side of the river lived the rabbit, and on the other side lived the bear.
One fine day, the bear was sitting on a stump, enjoying his breakfest of berries. Then he heard someone yelling at him. It was the rabbit. "Hey! Hey, Teddy, get your butt over here. I've got something to show you!" "Not now! I'm eating." "Oh come on!" said the rabbit. "It's really important." "No way." "Please. It's urgent." So the bear decided to go all the way over the wide river. It took him all day and all night to get over to the other side. He nearly drowned. And when he finally got there he was groaning and panting, and wheezing for air. "Well, rabbit," he panted. "What did you want to tell me?" "Hey, Teddy," the rabbit began, "look how many berries are on the other side of the river."

Still trying to prove a point not to follow any rabbits -- wonder if that was the quasi-real-life story of Elmer Fudd?
 In a forest a fox bumps into a little rabbit, and says, "Hi, junior, what are you up to?" "I'm writing a dissertation on how rabbits eat foxes," said the rabbit. "Come now, friend rabbit, you know that's impossible!" "Well, follow me and I'll show you." They both go into the rabbit's dwelling and after a while the rabbit emerges with a satisfied expression on his face. Comes along a wolf. "Hello, what are we doing these days?" "I'm writing the second chapter of my thesis, on how rabbits devour wolves." "Are you crazy? Where is your academic honesty?" "Come with me and I'll show you." As before, the rabbit comes out with a satisfied look on his face and a diploma in his paw. Finally, the camera pans into the rabbit's cave and, as everybody should have guessed by now, we see a mean-looking, huge lion sitting next to some bloody and furry remnants of the wolf and the fox. The moral: It's not the contents of your thesis that are important -- it's your PhD advisor that really counts!
