Have you ever been attacked by a drop bear, or worn sunglasses on the

I'm unable to decipher the meaning of this riddle. Should I just chop
through it with my sword?

Oh, I'm sorry. I picked up the following trivia on an Oz website. A "drop
bear" is a modern myth created to keep children away from eucalyptus trees
that have a dangerous tendency to shed limbs. According to the "myth", the
"drop bear" is a dangerous marsupial that hangs upside down from tree
branches.

In some areas, mating magpies aggressively attack people, pecking at the
backs of their heads. According to a website, an effective decoy is to
wear sunglasses on the back of one's head, fooling the magpies into
thinking that one can see them coming.

You may now ask me if I have to dodge thunderbirds when I'm jogging

**Depends whose driving one, I guess. I hired one back in 1994. I thought I
was going well, 'till a supercharged T-Bird went past doing an estimated
140MPH.
