And people think Australia's animals are weird.

Don't start dissing our weird mammals, now!

Sass trotted out of the bushes where she'd cornered it looking so pleased with herself. I'm certain she was thinking, "Dude! I showed him! And now I have this great camouflage smell - no one will know I'm coming!"

It's a pretty effective defense system - you'd think more animals would use it.

It's funny how everyone is just working away while a section of our office building is, you know, on fire...

Hooray! The alarm condition on the 21st floor has been resolved!!!

They've evacuated 21 and the two floors below. I wonder why not above. Huh.

I believe that's known as the "Fuck 'em!" policy.
