    From the Beeb:

    A female kangaroo has saved an Australian farmer's life by alerting his family that he was lying unconscious in a field.

    The kangaroo banged repeatedly on the door of the family home in the state of Victoria, until the farmer's wife came out.

    In a scene reminiscent of the 1960s Australian children's television series Skippy about a resourceful kangaroo, the animal then led the woman to her husband.

    Altogether now:

    "Skipppeeeee, Skipppeeee, Skippeee the Bush Kangaroooooo..." :lol:

    What's that, Lassy? 3 French terrorist who enjoy sushi have thrown Tom, our 3rd cousin 4th removed, into a well on the south-side of Miami because he wouldn't pay them in decent cheese!?

    Im still waiting for "Lassie in LA".

    Aparently its something about a dog from the hood who alerts all his brotha's whenever trouble's comin'.

    They had something about "Guns for Canines" too but i wasnt paying attention.

    Should be interesting.

    [crappy Aussie accent]What's that skip? A band of multi-national and highly dangerous terrorists are right here, in backwater Oz; with their thermonuclear weapons primed to destroy little Timmy who fell down the old mineshaft?

    This sounds serious...[/crappy Aussie accent]
