Finally, a reason to support the war on drugs.  SAVE THE WALLABIES!!!

Wallabies get high in poppy fields, make crop circles

WALLABIES are breaking into Tasmania’s poppy fields and getting high.

The strange occurrence, revealed in a State Government Budget Estimates hearing, has also solved what some growers say has spurred a campfire legend about mysterious crop circles that appear in northern Tasmania’s poppy paddocks.

In true X-Files-style, Attorney-General Lara Giddings said the drugged out wallabies had been found hopping around in circles squashing the poppies, creating the formations – and hence solving the mystery.

The wallabies are increasingly entering the fields and eating the poppy heads, The Mercury reports.

That causes them to get high and run around in circles creating “crop circles”.

“The one interesting bit that I found recently in one of my briefs on the poppy industry was that we have a problem with wallabies entering poppy fields, getting as high as a kite and going around in circles,” Ms Gidding said.

“Then they crash. We see crop circles in the poppy industry from wallabies that are high.”

Sometimes it takes something totally ridiculous to make you appreciate how great life is.
