DOUGLAS ADAMS' VIEW OF AUSTRALIA
The Douglas Adams of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy fame

Australia is a very confusing place, taking up a large amount of the Bottom
half of the planet. It is recognisable from orbit because of many unusual
features, including what at first looks like an enormous bite taken out of
its southern edge; a wall of sheer cliffs which plunge deep into the girting
sea. Geologists assure us that this is simply an accident of geomorphology
and plate tectonics, but they still call it the "Great Australian Bight"
proving that not only are they covering up a more frightening theory, but
they can't spell either.
The first of the confusing things about Australia is the status of the
place. Where other land masses and sovereign lands are classified as either
continent, island, or country, Australia is considered all three.
Typically, it is unique in this.
The second confusing thing about Australia are the animals. They can be
divided into three categories: Poisonous, Odd, and Sheep.
It is true that of the 10 most poisonous arachnids on the planet, Australia
has 9 of them. Actually, it would be more accurate to say that of the 9 most
poisonous arachnids, Australia has all of them. However, there are curiously
few snakes, possibly because the spiders have killed them all. But even the
spiders won't go near the sea.
Any visitors should be careful to check inside boots (before putting them
on), under toilet seats (before sitting down) and generally everywhere else.
A stick is very useful for this task.
Strangely, it tends to be the second class of animals (the Odd) that are
more dangerous. The creature that kills the most people each year is the
common Wombat. It is nearly as ridiculous as its name, and spends its life
digging holes in the ground, in which it hides. During the night it comes
out to eat worms and grubs.
The wombat kills people in two ways: First, the animal is indestructible.
Digging holes in the hard Australian clay builds muscles that outclass
Olympic weight lifters. At night, they often wander the roads. Semi-trailers
(Road Trains) have hit them at high speed, with all 9 wheels on one side,
and this merely makes them very annoyed. They express this by snorting,
glaring, and walking away. Alas, to smaller cars, the wombat becomes a
symmetrical launching pad, with results that can be imagined, but not
adequately described.
The second way the wombat kills people relates to its burrowing behaviour.
If a person happens to put their hand down a Wombat hole, the Wombat will
feel the disturbance and think "Ho! My hole is collapsing!" at which it will
brace its muscled legs and push up against the roof of its burrow with
incredible force, to prevent its collapse. Any unfortunate hand will be
crushed, and attempts to withdraw will cause the Wombat to simply bear down
harder. The unfortunate will then bleed to death through their crushed hand
as the wombat prevents him from seeking assistance. This is considered the
third most embarrassing known way to die, and Australians don't talk about
it much.
At this point, we would like to mention the Platypus, estranged relative of
the mammal, which has a duck-bill, otter's tail, webbed feet, lays eggs,
detects its aquatic prey in the same way as the electric eel, and has
venomous barbs attached to its hind legs, thus combining all 'typical'
Australian attributes into a single improbable creature.
The last confusing thing about Australia is the inhabitants. First, a short
history: Some time around 40,000 years ago, some people arrived in boats
from the north. They ate all the available food, and lot of them died. The
ones that survived learned respect for the balance of nature, man's proper
place in the scheme of things, and spiders. They settled in, and spent a lot
of the intervening time making up strange stories. Then, around 200 years
ago, Europeans arrived in boats from the north. More
