The Case of the Whacked-Out WallabiesPosted on Jun 25, 2009
Australians have found the source of a rash of mysterious crop circles: drugged-out wallabies. According to the attorney general of Tasmania, the kangaroo-like creatures have been eating opium poppies in fields grown for medical purposes, getting high and walking around in circles. Are you listening, Mel Gibson?

this is too funny, love it- thanks. I knew there was something I liked about kangaroos, they just make me laugh. Perhaps these animals need to zone out of the mess the world seems to be in. Where are the poppies again?

I wonder if they’ll run a segment on Animal Planet?
Remember the study (I think around 1970) involving spiders? They drugged them & then recorded how the various substances affected the spiders’ webs. The spiders on acid created a web with great detail in certain areas but large areas were badly supported & sparse. Alcohol made the webs sloppy, while caffeine inspired the best webs of all. I don’t remember if they were given opium but it interested me that the spiders, another species, reacted in ways not dissimilar to people.
Where in Tasmania are these fields? I’d like to visit there someday.

I think Lara has been eating the Poppies. So drugged up Wallabees are able to stagger in geometrically accurate designs?? Able to make such intricate layouts individually or as a group?
Report thisPerhaps we should begin studying these Creatures they apparently have the same intellecual capabilities as Humans- perhaps we should seek their insight on the Global economic meltdown, or Global Warming, Astrophysics and nano techonology.
What an absolutely ridiculous ascertain!Please don’t tell me this woman has anything higher than a grade school education.

Actually there has been an ongoing disinformation campaign in relation to crop circles for a long, time. Without ridicule there would be fear.
Those poppies, are a special kind, red poppies, which are used to make suboxone, and also subutex. Someone is betting that millions of American’s will soon be prescribed, these dangerous drugs.

I’ve yet to see any pictures of these crop circles. I don’t imagine that there crop circles are very interesting… I could be wrong.

I have read several instances of “animals” getting high, I guess they haven’t “heard” the prohibitionists’ mantra, “EVIL, EVIL, EVIL”.
Yeah, animals “do it” all the time, in more ways than one….. therefore, since according to us they don’t have a “god”.... wait… since according to us they don’t have a god…. ah, wait a minute…. THEY DON’T HAVE A GOD…...at least, “according to us”. (time to REINTERPRET scripture)
Wait….. I got it, “being lower animals”, of course, and therefore…... ah…ah…ah, I forgot. WAIT, I “KNOW” there’s something here… hold up, goddamn it, DON’T RUSH ME, I hate that…. anyway, I “know”.... um…um…. um
It doesn’t matter. “I know”... “I know” and that’s the end of it! Some people…I mean, ANIMALS….whatever! Why do we talk about things we already “KNOW”... ANYWAY!
It’s annoying. Jesus Christ, you’ll give me a damn heart attack….. what the hell…..some people don’t know their ass from a hole in the ground…..

The comments on the BBC article are far funnier than the ones we manage. Either the Ausies have a better sense of humor; less on their minds; or spend more time getting stoned. Perhaps we should keep a closer watch on our wild animals. Who knows what the grizzlies in Montana are really up to? Then there are all the raccoons…

People act this strangely in Afghanistan all the time - for the same reason. Getting involved with poppy fields is a bad trip man. But at least these fields are grown for medicine, not the CIA.
