Off topic but here goes. A nocturnal Australian beast with a eerie call resembling a woman wailing or a pilot on first solo in his KR. Often heard in the vicinity of billabongs around the campfire late at night and closely related to Bundy Bear. Never actually seen but known to be partial to Vegemite. The subject of several bush ballads and poems written by pioneer Aussie vagabonds.
John PS: More trivia. I've discovered that if you program your GPS to be on lat/long 0/0 and ask it the distance and direction to 0/180 (ie., the other side of the world) it gets most confused as it attempts to calculate the world's equatorial circumference and divide by two. OK OK I'm gone now.
