A koala has survived being hit by a car and then dragged for several miles with its head stuck in the vehicle’s front grill, officials in Australia say.

They say the male koala was found with his bottom sticking out of the grill of a woman’s car near Brisbane.

The animal was taken to a wildlife hospital in Queensland where tests showed it was not badly hurt.

The lucky creature - believed to be several years old - was nicknamed Lucky Grills after his ordeal.

The driver said she had noticed a koala on the road but drove on when she failed to see anything in her rear view mirror.

The trapped animal was only spotted when the driver pulled up at a railway station on the outskirts of Brisbane.

“Somehow the force of the impact propelled him through the grill. That sort of wedged him there. That is why he didn’t come adrift. The rest of his body was dangling,” spokeswoman Carolyn Beaton of the Australian Wildlife Hospital told the AFP news agency.

She added that “an examination showed that he was in good health and had no serious injuries”.

FUCK YES!

A drunk 64-year-old Australian man was found asleep on a highway in northern Australia in his motorized wheelchair. The police charged him with drunk driving. Wheeling under the influence? I’ve heard of biking under the influence but only here in the drunkie town that is Chico, Cali.

Police officers saw the man slumped over himself in his wheelchair at 10 a.m. on Friday morning. He must have started early. He was sitting on an exit lane and cars were swerving around him. He was breathalized and blew a 0.301, more than six times over the legal driving limit. He must have started REALLY early. Understandable because the man had to make a nine mile trip to a buddy’s house.

For your info: other classes of vehicles subject to drunk driving laws include horses, bicycles and motorized wheelchairs. So I guess stick with a hand operated wheelchair and get shitfaced.

The Living End rep punkabilly with pop hooks galore, and hail from Australia, reigning as one of the most popular rock ‘n’ roll outfits the continent has known. The group’s heyday took place in the late ’90s, though they still enjoy a huge fan base on their home turf. Here’s an excellent performance of “Pictures In The Mirror” from 2003.

The Tasmanian Devil, an Australian carnivorous marsupial, has unfortunately been announced as a member of the endangered species list. Due to a cancer that has furiously attacked the animals face, the Devil has seen it’s numbers drop by near 60 percent in recent years. Wildlife experts estimate that the population could possibly be as low as 20,000 at this point. A sad thought for fans of the animal, and the cartoon.

A short history of Olympic Protesting from the Times:

— Tommie Smith and John Carlos, gold and bronze medalists in the 200 metres, gave the Black Power salute during the American National Anthem in Mexico, 1968, to demonstrate against racial discrimination in their home country. They were expelled from the Games

— The silver medallist in the 200 metres, Peter Norman of Australia, who was white, wore an “Olympic Project for Human Rights” badge in support of Smith and Carlos’s protest. When he died, in 2006, Smith and Carlos were his lead pallbearers

— Irish athletes boycotted the 1908 Olympic Games in London in protest against Britain’s refusal to give Ireland its independence. The American team also refused to dip its flag to Edward VII during the opening ceremony

— In 1932 Italian gold medallist Luigi Beccali gave a fascist salute on the podium at the Los Angeles Games

— The Nazis’ appropriation of the 1936 Berlin Games for the purposes of propaganda included the introduction of a grand torch relay to the Games – the very same that is causing trouble today. Boycott efforts by Britain and the US were short-lived, but many Jewish athletes refused to participate

— At the Munich Games of 1972, gunmen from the Palestinian Black September group broke into the compound occupied by Israeli athletes and killed 11 of them

— In 1980 62 countries – the biggest number in history – boycotted the Moscow Games in protest against the intervention of the Soviet Union in Afghanistan

— An Eastern bloc boycott was organised in retaliation at the next games in Los Angeles

— Two-time world judo champion Arash Miresmaeili was eliminated from the 2004 Olympics, officially after failing weight criteria. It seems more likely his exit was because he was drawn against an Israeli. Iran’s National Olympic Committee later said it was “general policy” for Iranian athletes to avoid competing against Israelies
