A man in Australia who discussed using a kangaroo packed with explosives and painted with the Islamic State's symbol in a terror attack was charged in a Melbourne court this week. The plan discussed was to let the iconic Australian marsupial loose on police on Anzac Day, according to court documents, the Australian news outlet ABC reported on Thursday.

...Oz, you're sooo fucked!

I always knew there was something evil about the fluffy buggers. You can't have a bag this big in your nap and not be hiding something. It's un-possible!

Awww, news from my home town.

Whilst I suspect he's little more than a stupid teenager with a loud mouth, I rather suspect that the response would have been surprising to him.

"Mr Besim has been in custody since April 18 when 200 heavily armed officers swooped on the city's south-east, arresting five teenagers and seizing knives and swords."

Forty heavily-armed officers per teenager with knives and swords. Ummm...

It would depend on the species no doubt.

If they were carnivorous kangaroos (http://www.abc.net.au/science/news/space/SpaceRepublish_167333.htm) you would have to up the ante. Worse still if they brought along any ducks (http://www.abc.net.au/science/news/enviro/EnviroRepublish_132047.htm).

DAILY QUOTE:
"The NATO charter clearly says that any attack on a NATO member shall be treated, by all members, as an attack against all. So that means that, if we attack Greenland, we'll be obligated to go to war against ... ourselves! Gee, that's scary. You really don't want to go to war with the United States. They're insane!"
