Queensland has been invaded by Oceanic Triggerfish.

http://www.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,4057,5850568%5E421,00.html

There was some dissention on another board regarding the particular triggerfish image in the article - it may be a Titan Triggerfish (nasty buggers, met one once).

You know how they post warning signs with pictures of crocodiles to tell tourists not to go swimming? They've had to start posting warning signs with pictures of Steve Irwin on them to alert the crocodiles...

Hopefully that new Kangaroo Jack movie will totally rid the world once and for all of Australian stereotypes and innaccurate misconceptions...

I have noted that if you want to find all the foreigners in a German bar, just play the chicken song and see who flaps; in Australia just look around for all those drinking Foster's.
