What we’re supposed to eat Kangaroo now?

What would you call that?

Sounds like another contest brewing…

We should rid our world of the greatest methane producers…elitist, marxists, politicians, academia, etc…

Please get a clue!

31,072 American Scientists say it’s a fraud.

Does the leftwing media report it?
LOL.

“Replacing Cattle and Sheep With Farmed Kangaroos Would Reduce Greenhouse Gas”

It would also be a massive economic failure because Kangaroo meat tastes like crap. Why not just turn us into vegetarians while you’re at it? God, where do people get such stupid ideas.

Next they will tell us it was the fault of the dinosaurs, that caused the Ice age. Could you
imagine the fart of a t-rex

Perhaps so…yes…and unplugging your refrigerator will cause your milk to spoil…Next!

But…McDonald’s would then be one burger short of a Hoppy Meal…oh God I crack myself up…!

Farmed kangaroos? Someone shoot Al Gore please!

Couldn’t we achieve the same affect by getting rid of the libs? Go ahead guys, for the good of Mother Earth!

This is hilarious.

There are usually several people commenting on these videos who profess to hate “academia,” which certainly says a lot about their views on education.
I’m trying to figure out who the “elitist” is supposed to be.

Kanga is “vermin”??

Wait, you greedy fools, the roos were there first.

It’s like the same idiots in the U.S. who call wolves “vermin.”

Burger King will rename the Whopper, the Hopper.

Hey, why don’t you just start eating people, and forget about it? You’ll at once have plenty of meat and at the same time you can reduce the population. After all, I don’t think people want to live any less than kangaroos do.

You could get a wrap and call it a “pouch”. Sounds yummy!

But seriously folks, universities are presently doing work that will reduce methane emissions from cattle. They can either alter the feed or perhaps use recombinant bacteria in one of the bovine stomachs to reduce gas build up. So why change the source of meat?

I am a little curious…how do they measure their results? Do they have a special “toot” sensor behind the cow?

SIGH   October 1st, 2008 - 2:42 pm

Go away already! I can’t take it anymore! As soon as we convert the populace to eating kangaroos, the Algorites will then try to outlaw human consumption of beans. Just go away, please.

Algore needs to move down under to check this out.

Fact #1 “Vermin” means worms, not animals.”Vermiculture” is the raising of worm farms.
Fact #2 There are MANY kangaroo farms in Australia, the three largest ones are all owned by MacDonalds, since the 1980’s.
Fact #3 The US has been experimenting with removing cows and replacing them with ostriches, for many, many reasons. But the Beef industry won’t have it, and the cowboys don’t want to be called “Birdboys”.
Fact #4 Conservative Christians are morons. The world isn’t flat, just because the Bible says so.

Phocus   October 1st, 2008 - 3:16 pm

Dear smarternu,

Wow smarternu…relax those cheeks! And try to breathe deeply and slowly to help limit your carbon exhale. Sheesh, you’re wound tighter than a kangaroos ass. And lastly, why are you so afraid of Christians?

Bubba,
The best one so far. Although I liked the Hopper, too.
