What in the hell is a "Bunyip"??

A bunyip is a legendary spirit or creature of the Australian
Aborigine. Bunyips haunt rivers, swamps, creeks and
billabongs. Their main goal in life is to cause nocturnal
terror by eating people or animals in their vicinity. They
are renowned for their terrifying bellowing cries in the
night and have been known to frighten Aborigines to the
point where they would not approach any water source where a
bunyip might be waiting to devour them.


That is real weird


It's a living.

Hmmmm....I wonder if bunyips are taxonomically related to
chupacabras.? Maybe a proto-bunyip family floated over to Mazatlan on
the Kontiki with that Norwegian fellow several million years ago and
became established throughout Central America. Maybe not. You never
see chupacabras posting on the usenet. Maybe they can't type.
shrug....who knows?!?


Not sure abotu that, but Robert Loggia is one of us.

The name sounded familiar but I had to google him to see who the heck he is.
I'm not up to speed on names of actors, etc. unless it's someone like Clint
Eastwood or Heather Locklear. :-)
