Marsupials wreak havoc

‘High as a kite’ wallabies blamed for crop circles
Australian marsupials wreak havoc after munching on opium poppies

SYDNEY, Australia - Wallabies snacking in Tasmania's legally grown opium poppy fields are getting "high as a kite" and hopping around in circles, trampling the crops, a state official said.

Tasmania Attorney-General Lara Giddings told a budget hearing Wednesday that she had recently read about the kangaroo-like marsupials' antics in a brief on the state's large poppy industry. Tasmania is the world's largest producer of legally grown opium for the pharmaceutical market.

"We have a problem with wallabies entering poppy fields, getting as high as a kite and going around in circles," The Mercury newspaper quoted Giddings as telling the hearing. "Then they crash. We see crop circles in the poppy industry from wallabies that are high."

If I'm reading it correctly, only wallabies are. Wombats tend to be more sober than our alien cousins. :D:

I met the Wallaby once. He didn't seem like the type to me...

I thought Wallabies only created Monorail circles.

Which makes me think -- good thing the monorails are on a rail, 'cuz otherwise BW would drive them in circles.

Wait, I guess they kind of do drive in circles...

Yeah. Sorry 'bout that. Bugger, I was caught.

Crop circles are cool, okay?

And I am not an alien, I am just hired by them...
