And here I thought you were speaking Australian.  Dingo, kuala, didgerido,
wallabee, kangaroo, and of course, what should be the Aussie national
animal: the platypus, a compilation of other animals.  I've submitted the
question as to whether Noah took two platypuses or two platypi on his ark
to the Roving Reporter in the local paper.  I'll let you know what they
come up with.  I can tell you, though, that they were both male.  Noah
didn't want any hanky panky on his ark.
