Oh brother... I'm feeling so lazy. So lazy I'll just post this song to describe how it feels rather than type it all out. Hear the melody? It's the melody of someone chilling by the barn, wearing a straw hat, playing his guitar the entire day... well.. that least that's how I picture it. And out of pure randomness and boredom, I'd like to introduce to you, this guy:

Meet Mr. Koala Bear. As most people know, despite the name, Koala's aren't really bears at all. They are marsupials. And they have life all figured out. Here's why:

Pockets
Despite the name, Koala's aren't really bears. They are marsupials. Marsupials are mammals, with pockets. I told my friends that this was a the surest sign from God that pockets were meant to be eventually invented. I once thought cargo pants (with so many pockets!) were the greatest invention of the modern times. The funny thing about Koala's is that their pockets are upside down instead of right side up.

Fussy Vegetarians
Koala's only eat certain types of Eucalyptus leaves. Nothing else. That means they are the Aussie version of the Panda, who only eat Bamboo leaves. And since they eat so much of the leaves, the even smell like Eucalyptus. Eucalyptus happens also to be a natural insect repellent. Which explains why they never worry about mosquito's or bugs while hanging out in the trees all day.

Go Green - Sleep all Day
Koala's sleep up to 18 hours a day. And they actually have a pretty good excuse for it. See, the leaves they eat are almost 70% water. That means they have very little nutrients or energy in their diet. So,to conserve energy, they sleep all day. In fact, they can't

Hard Ass
Koala's have a hard ass. No really, they do. Normally, sleeping all day in one position causes pressure sores. But in the case of the Koala, they've developed special hard asses that enable them to sleep on a tree trunk (as above) all day without feeling the least bit uncomfortable.

So there you go. Some fast facts about Koalas. They have wrongly sewnpockets, are super fussy about their food, sleep all day and the toughest part of their body is their ass, made for sleeping. Anywhere else in the world, this would have meant the extinction of them. But down under in Australia, it's a national icon.

Have a good weekend everyone. :-)
