Another mystery concerning crop circles; this time in OZ!
The mystery surrounding crop circles in Tasmania has been solved. Stoned wallabies were eating poppy heads and hopping around in circles. Yes, its true!
Tasmanian Attorney- General, Lara Gibbons said they enter poppy fields, get high as a kite and stagger round in circles. Then they crash, leaving the eventual circle.
Many people have believed in the past that crop circles wer created by aliens - not these ones though friends. These are fair dinkum wallaby created ones. Deer and sheep have been known to act weird after eating poppies in the state's highlands as well. Tasmania is the world's largest producer of legally grown opium for the pharmaceutical market.

poor little animals. They don't even know what they are getting into or how they should support their habit.
Trying to remember where Tasmania is..
"Tasmania is the world's largest producer of legally grown opium for the pharmaceutical market."
Interesting. I imagine that that would include Morphine, which cerainly must be big business.
I read recently that Afghanistan produces 95% of the illegal opium, used for heroin. Actually the opium trade is the heart and soul of just about everything going on in Afghanistan.
(Way out! - Maybe some day we'll learn that when the American Government started a real effort to clamp down on heroin imports, the World Trade Center was targeted as a show of force. This is just a thought with nothing whatever to back it up.)
Maybe we could convince Afghanistan to produce Opium for legal purposes. But I suppose I'm probably not the first to think that.
Tasmania?
Is one of the states of Australia - often left off maps because it is an island below the mainland.

Reminds me of a story from the old MAD maagazines...
"Mum, why do I keep going around in circles?" "Shut-up or I'll nail your other foot to the floor!"

I said a few words about Opium above. But..
You may be older than you look, Hut. I swear, as a long-ago connoisseur of Mad, I remember that.
"Mommy, why do the kids call me a werewolf? "
"Shut up, and comb your face!"
"Mrs Jones, your son has just been run over by a steamroller!"
"Shut up and slide him under the door!"
I remember
Alfred E. Newman....."What me worry?"

I'd heard it
and the news that it wasn't true. Stoned wallabies going in circles? Only if some sadist had nailed one foot to the ground. Good funny story.
