Tiny koala.

From what I remember about the stuff I half-read at Sydney Zoo, koalas spend 23.5 hours of the day asleep, and the remaining half-hour snacking on just enough eucalyptus to fuel their high-energy lifestyles. That is a truly evolved species.

I do love gratuitous cuteness...

More here. Sorry that none of them are playing snooker ;-D

I had to do this. :)








If you want text I can add it for you.

Oh, to be able to sleep all day....

Isn't it a wonderful thought? Not sure how I'd be on a wholly eucalyptus diet, though. Sleepy, probably.

Ohmigod they are so cute! Thank you! Am dead from squee!

It's tempting to suggest you put 'Elizabeth and Leicester' on that top one. What text do you think would suit?

All that sleeping, and enough eucalyptus to ensure I'd never have blocked sinuses again.

At least there's only be half an hour a day when the KoalaMum would be in a position to notice if the babies are stressed and boot them out (coals to Newcastle, you'd think).

Amen! Now I know what I hope to be in my next life! :) Though Boston Terrier is still high on my list, of course... (looks across the room to Virginia, the world's most beautiful Boston, who nods her approval).

How about 'Survival of the Fittest' on that second one?

If she can be arsed to do any booting, of course.

Not sure I know what a Boston terrier looks like...

Rather like Yoda wearing a tuxedo, actually. You can see Virginia second picture down here or right here. She's not big on eucalyptus, though. :)

Ah, koalas! The ultimate undecided voters!

"Which is the more serious problem: ignorance or apathy?"
"I don't know, and I don't care."

Aw, I think they have just have some very specific areas of interest, i.e. eating and sleeping.

They occasionally also fit in enough time to pee on politicians. ;-) Truly!

*snort!* So they certainly don't waste their wide-awake time!

*grin* And then there's the fact that a lot of colonies have had to be put on the pill... so, as you said, a pretty perfect life.

I sometimes think opposable thumbs were a really bad idea.

This concludes our broadcast evening.

Just wanted to say that I loved your icon.

Here goes! Am afraid it's not dead sexy or anything. Kinda functional. You're completely allowed to not like it, I'll try again!

Definitely. In my opinion, our species took a wrong turn very early, when we rejected the photosynthetic lifestyle. Saying yes to opposable thumbs just made a bad deal worse!

Thx! I'd seen all of B7 before BtVS S4, so as far as I'm concerned, Spuffy is "been there, done that."

LJ's email notification has only just delivered these to me, I'm so sorry!

I am killing myself laughing about Lizzie and Leicester! And squeeing like a mad thing about 'survival of the fittest', that koala is just so cute...
