Feb 6, 2009: Hot and wet ... koala.

ZenGum · 02-06-2009, 04:11 AM

These pictures are being passed around on the email grapevines down here. They came with the following explanation:

Quote:

It has been so hot in South Australia for over a week…40+ degrees Celsius everyday, very dry also.

This guy lives at Maude [200 km NE of Adelaide. ZG]. His wife sent him these photos of a little Koala which just walked into the back porch looking for a bit of heat relief. She filled up a bucket and this is what happened!

There seems to be some kind of comment on the tip of my tongue, but I can't seem to think of it.

Step 2: Empty one (1) packet of marinate into the water and gently stir so as not to disturb the little bugger.
Step 3: Let soak for 40 minutes.

Step 8: Remove foil and serve with cold beer.

aHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhh... Is clearly what he's thinking.

(Now if someone would hand him some youcalleepeedus he'd be all fixed up.)

Sorry the eucalyptus tastes weak, all the trees have been drained...

...boiled the sap down for cough syrup.

The real story.

Heat relief or 'roid relief?

I think ice would have been better. Who wants a watered-down koala?

DanaC · 02-06-2009, 03:53 PM

I think my cutometer just exploded.

When he gets mad will he eat, shoot and leave?

I believe you're thinking of pandas. Imagine getting a panda in a tub of water!

I have only ever experienced -8c once when I went up the mountains in winter. However I used to work in freezers that would get to -16c but I dont think that counts.

Just add water:

Great photos, I feel his pain. it has been 42 degrees here the last couple of days and this Sunday will reach 47 where I live. For a day it will be the hottest place on the Planet. The water in the pool is 33 degrees celcius, hardly worth it.
