Today's weather in my area reminded me of this once popular email that made the rounds, because it was so hot in Australia for a week that Koala were coming up to people and asking for water.

So if it's hella hot in your region and you happened to miss this 2009 email, I hope this bit of snap shot cuteness helps to bring a smile of relief to the heat of your day. Cool Shades

One Koala dared enter a house in order to escape the heat. This is what happened when the kind hearted owner helped out.

Noo!!

You almost did it right.

All you had to do was put it on to boil and you'd have Koala Stew!! It was even in the water already! Big Grin

But it was unshaven. Koala hairballs after the soup goes down makes for really nasty burps. Confused Fall

Silly, everyone knows that you scald it and scrape the hair off before placing into an actual stew... Big Grin

Um, *points at Yank self* , clearly not everyone knows that. Scalded Koala. Oh that's just so wrong. He thought he was hot before he approached the humans...

In summer the temperature often reaches 120 F in parts of Australia, but once it's over 100 it becomes moot.

Here in Adelaide we regularly have a week at time of 100F and it gets as high as 110+. Last year,we reached stage 4 water restrictions; no washing your car with a hose,watering the garden allowed for a couple of hours every alternate day. Heavy fine for breaches.
The government paid me $450 towards the installation of a new toilet cistern which uses about half as much water.

As far as I'm aware the highest temperature recorded in inhabited Australia is 140F, at Marble Bar, Western Australia. The town also set a world record , with the longest consecutive period of temperatures above 100F; from 31 October to 7 April 1924.

Evidently you've never prepared a bear to be eaten Wink

This is true. But it wasn't for the lack of trying. I just couldn't get past the button eyes and thoughts of having to chew all that stuffing. [Image: 1sm047whistle.gif]

Well, that certainly makes complaining about our temperatures here seem rather silly in comparison. I can't imagine how that feels.

No no,NO! What a shameful waste! First you skin it,and save the pelt.You ring a nice man and he pays you $5 for each pelt--where did you think we got all those cute stuffed koalas we sell to tourists? Cool Shades

Anyway,no Aussie will eat koalas;they taste of their diet,;they eat only eucalyptist leaves.

The most popular native animal at Aussie barbecues is 'roo. This is because the meat is exceptionally lean, tastes a lot like beef,and is available from most supermarkets, as steaks,sausages,sate, and even salami. Yummo! Prices are about the same as for good beef. I kid you not

PS nobody minds the odd koala coming to the door for a drink. However, we're not too keen on the brown snakes doing the same. (they're
venomous)--and nobody really like sharks in their swimming pool.
