There's a reason that truck has such a huge bull-bar...and you'll notice a second screen across the windshield. Kangaroos are fast, stupid and they can jump high - you don't want one coming through the window at 110 km/h (that's 6o mph in yankee-bucks).
What's funny, though, is you'll see bull-bars almost as big on some family sedans in the city. They want to ban them in Sydney because they also do an excellent job on pedestrians, cyclists, parked cars, letter boxes, bus shelters...instances of soccer mom rage were on the rise. Don't get in the way of a pissed-off soccer mom in a Ford Explorer with a 1/2 ton of iron work on the front. Some of them were starting to weld on spikes, for Martha's sake!

What do kangaroos say, anyway? Like, sheep say Baaa! and cows say Moo! Do Kangaroos really say things like "tutututut, the helicopter's crashed into the ravine"?
only if a helicopter had indeed crashed in a ravine, and they had witnessed or at least heard about it. I mean they wouldn't say it if they had no knowlege of the event, that would be silly.
Have you ever been to Wadeye?
Todays NZ Herald says 300 residents have been evacuated due to violence between two rival spear and machete wielding gangs known as 'The Judas Priests' and 'The Evil Warriors'.
Have you seen Mad Max?
(sorry this comment has nothing to do with kangaroos)
or does it?
here in cali everyone has all-terrain vehicles, but there's no terrain.
lifted trucks that never drive in dirt, yadda yadda
btw, there was a farmer out here who thought to raise kangaroos as meat... people complained that the kangaroos shouldnt' be eaten cause they were smarter than most people. unfortunately those most people were the protesters.
sorry Face, I was in Aukland once for exactly 1 hour, but that's all.
Sounds like the Sihks back in Vancouver. Took out the machetes over a dispute about whether to eat at tables in the Temple, or sit on the floor. Cops had to guard the place for 3 days.
exile we have a monthly BBQ/staff meeting at work (where else). My boss keeps getting kangaroo steaks because they are cheap, but he puts out Barvarian mustard and a bit of pesto and voila, c'est gourmet!
