Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 ... what a strange and wonderful world you live in! Mama-Sher, 69; IPF, 3-06, OR.Don't fret about tomorrow, God is already there! Tassie Devils OK, you ASKED for it Mama-Sher..... NB I'm now FORCED to tell y's all a TRUE Tale about our Tassie Devils....as you know I have a daughter who lives in Tasmania & one evening we were engaged in our usual phone link chatting away.....I became aware of THE most indescribably HIDEOUS noise in the background..... a sort of deep GROWLING combines with a screeching SHRIEK that made my blood CURDLE...I asked what the heck it was & she calmly told me it was just a family of Tassie Devils who'd taken up residence UNDER her bathroom floor & they were trying to tear one of her LEATHER BOOTS to bits..... Tassie Devils eat other animals (usually already dead!) & the only way they can tear the meat off the carcass is to fight over it because they're quite small with small jaws & teeth....so they make a HECK of a RACKET but they're just sitting down to an average DINNER! The tragedy is that they're fast becoming extinct because there is a dreadful cancerous virus raging through the Devil popluation of Tasmania that is passed on through their communal eating habit. Cancer free populations have been shifted to special enclosures around Australia in the hope that the Cancer Virus will wear it self out & there will be a safe stock of Devils that can then be returned to Tassie. Tassie Devils only existed in Tasmania ....they're notorious for stealing people's leather shoes left out on verandahs to dry....they seem to think they are a delicacy! There you go, MORE strange critters downunder than you can poke a stick at! in Oz > > > > > > > >> > > > > > > >> > > > > > > > Couldn't agree more Sista.....if I stay in> > > > my bed gear too long I> > > >> > > === message truncated ===> > >> > > ____________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _> > > Be a better friend, newshound, and> > > know-it-all with Yahoo!
