Some people just can't catch a break:
Wombat bites Australian bush fire survivor
A man who survived last year's deadly bush fires in Australia is recovering in hospital after falling victim to a rare attack by a wombat.
Bruce Kringle, 60, was pulled to the ground by the animal and bitten on the legs and arms after apparently stepping on it by mistake.
He escaped after killing the wombat with an axe.
"The wombat proceeded to get rather nasty and attacked him and inflicted some wounds to his lower legs and also to his arms as well," ABC News quoted Mr Gill as saying.
"It took about 20 minutes. He did try to exit the area and get away from the wombat but my belief is that it kept coming at him."
Also, JPL smells like maple syrup.
Mmmmm. Maybe they can figure out why -- did they ever figure out why that happened in NYC?
Also, it is apparently 90 (!!) degrees here. I am feeling very good about the current coolness of my apartment. Although, of course, that's just one day. But middle brownstone + only morning direct sunlight should = not too bad in summer, I'm hoping.
did they ever figure out why that happened in NYC?
I'm pretty sure we ended up blaming it on New Jersey.
Oh yeah, I remember it was coming from New Jersey, but since when does the Garden State smell like syrup??
And now I'm having a vague recollection of an actual answer about some chemical situation happening.

I had to read that headline 3 times before I realized it wasn't WOMAN bites... etc.
And then when I comprehended it, all I could think was, "weremonkey."
It was a fenugreek company in NJ: [link]
OH RIGHT! It was an actual maple syrup smell! Good times, good times.
My mother's boss teaches high school and did not know Newark is in New Jersey. Now, to be fair, I'm watching Brick City right now AIFG, and I'm a Philip Roth fan besides so I know about it, for never being there.
But that's pretty dumb, is it not?
I think she bought her diploma on the interwebs.
Also, JPL smells like maple syrup.
Given that PADDYWHACK just came up in Bitches, I totally interpreted JPL as Jared Padelecki.
Given the amount of sugar he supposedly eats, I bet Jared does smell like maple syrup.
And hey! Jersey doesn't always smell bad. Hmph.
