No wonder wallabies in Tasmania have been having such a g’day.
It seems the buggers have been hopping into opium poppy fields in the Australian state and eating the heads off the plants, causing the kangaroo-like animals to get high and race around in circles.
Government officials are even pointing to the revelation, which came to light in a budget hearing, to explain a recent spate of mysterious crop circles appearing in the poppy fields. Talk about high strangeness. Did they really think drugged-up wallabies would be more believable than swamp gas or weather balloons?
One thing that can be verified: Tasmania is the world’s largest producer of legally grown opium for the pharmaceutical industry, which probably explains why no one has called for the poppy growers to be stoned over this wallaby wingding.
