Killer 'Roos

Everybody thinks we've got it easy in Australia. And everybody thinks kangaroos are big cute things like Skippy.

Wrong. Australia is full of dangerous wildlife, various hyper-poisonous beasties. And even kangaroos can be dangerous. One recently attacked an old lady on her ranch in central New South Wales.

Hey, those things are well over 6 feet tall and adults weigh over 200 pounds. And they have big, strong claws that can disembowel a person in short order.

The lady, Rosemary Neal, was saved when her dog charged the irritable kangaroo, who hopped away.

Crikey.

What Did YOU Leave on the Train?

Feeling like you had a bad day? Bummed out because the weather sucks and your favorite team of professional steroid-popping ath-uh-letes were beaten by another team of professional steroid-popping ath-uh-letes?

Then at least be glad you didn't have the day that Rob Napier had. Napier was on a train ride, then got off and as the train was pulling away, realized he had left something in the luggage rack.

An umbrella? A spare book? A laptop? A briefcase full of his company's personnel files? A birthday present for his wife/girlfriend/mistress?

Nope, a violin.

A violin that belonged to his mother.

A violin made in Venice.

A violin made in 1698.

A violin that is worth $400,000.

Napier called the rail company, but of course the violin was not found on the train. But there's a $20,000 reward for it, so keep your eyes open.
