    Re: Emus & Kangaroos cannot walk backwards

    It is for the gene pool. You never know what great medicinal discoveries may lead to an innocuous animal and a great finding. You keep them around until you need them.
    Looking forward to CFH magic for the next bball season, Georges style.

    So an ostrich has a mohawk and an emu doesn't? That sound about right?

    Re: Emus & Kangaroos cannot walk backwards

    I am a farm kid. And I have butchered an Emu. Tastes alot like beef with the qualities of chicken. Just be careful of the kicking.
    I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone.

    Snapple is delicious, but I often overlook it. I may have to purchase a Snapple soon.
    I am no scientist, but I don't think that an emu is a marsupial. More like an ostrich if I am not mistaken.

    Re: Emus & Kangaroos cannot walk backwards

    So did you use a big hatchet to knock its block off or just twist its head around like uncorking a wine bottle??

    Remember they kick, so getting to close without the right pen is dangerous. So a shotgun was used. To the head.

    Nice clarification there, I could see an errant bullet just glancing off one of those thing's armor-like wings.
