    Skell, don't do it!
    Aussies urged to eat moths

    Australians are being urged to get rid of a plague of moths - by eating them.

    The "munch a moth" campaign is being led by Jean-Paul Bruneteau, 51, a French-born chef, reports the Daily Telegraph.

    He first began eating the brown bogong moths 11 years ago while researching a book on bush tucker eaten by Aborigines.

    "They have a lovely popcorn flavour, like hazelnut," he said.

    Those darned moths! Don't they know if they don't keep procreating that there's going to be even more of them to eat? Yum!! :)

    LOL! Funnily enough I haven't read that report.

    Moths are beautiful with a nice Merlot from the famous Hunter Valley. Tasty! :)

    Trust me I won't Start. Just for the record we don't eat moths. The french however do, and that report was from a frog. :D

    I did read a report however that a large firm in Sydney sent out a memo instructing staff to avoid yawning in the streets as there have been reports of armies of moths flying in. There was a plague moving across the city yesterday but they are all gone now. It happens every 10 years or so.

    Don't believe him. They eat not only moths, but grubs and lizards to. The really sad thing is, they bar-b-que them cute little fuzzy Wallabies. Yea, it's true. They all get together and drink Fosters beer and throw a Wallaby on the Barbie. I think that is the reason GOD is hitting them with this pestulance so soon.

    Grubs. We sure do. Kangaroo meat is great.

    Did you know we are the only country in the world that eats its national emblem.

    Once when I was down in the South of America I had some bird. It was big. Real big! I could hardly get through it all. The local said something about it being bald or something and that I shouldn't tell anyone.. But gee it was good.

    Oh yes, The Bald Scavenger. They are all over the hiways and biways of America eating the flattened skunk and Opossum.

    Artist implants 'third ear' on his own arm

    Performance artists are known for pushing the bounderies, but one Australian has astonished his contemporaries by having a third ear implanted onto his arm.

    The Cypriot-born eccentric Stelios Arcadious spent 10 years searching for a surgeon willing to perform the controversial operation.

    Boy, somebody needs to repeal the gun laws over there so these people can have a little fun. First they're eating flying critters and now... well... I just don't know what to make of it!

    Ive never come across a Bid Dad's Pies franchise. It looks like it's a Queenslander thing. They're a bit different. But you don't have to go far to find a good pie down here.

    I must admit that site did make me hungry!
