Have you ever been attacked by a drop bear, or worn sunglasses on the back
of your head?

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.

You learn something new every day. Never heard of it.

I wish I'd thought of that. I've been attacked many times on golf
course, but the worst attack was when I was walking through Hyde Park,
Sydney, one day when a large bird hit my cheek a glancing blow that
nearly knocked me out, and certainly drew blood. Apparent;ly it was
mating season.

Actually Drop Bears were 'invented' to scare allied forces visiting
Australia during the 2nd World War.
As we had no large predators to scare the Yanks & Poms with, the myth of the
Drop Bear was created.

Nowdays we refer to Koalas as drop bears, even though they're not a bear
