Man Claims to Speak 'Australian' After Allegedly Being Raped by Wombat
Thursday, March 27, 2008
SYDNEY — A New Zealand man has been sentenced to community service after telling police he was raped by a wombat and the experience had made him speak "Australian".
Arthur Ross Cradock, 48, from the South Island town of Motueka, called police on February 11 and told them he was being raped at his home by the wombat and he needed help, The Nelson Mail newspaper reported.
The orchard worker later called back and said: "Apart from speaking Australian now, I'm pretty all right, you know."
Cradock pleaded guilty in the local court to using a phone for a fictitious purpose. He was sentenced to 75 hours' community work.
Police prosecutor Sergeant Chris Stringer told the court alcohol played a large role in Cradock's life.

Roger that! Occasionally I'll click a Fox News link from Google news. The list of tabloid-grade articles on each page is remarkable. It's not just Fox though - the ABC website is just as bad.

You mean there is another news website or channel other than Fox?
Article has been picked up by other news services. Too good to miss a story on the continuing Wombat crisis down under. Vicious critters.

Stephen looked sharply round, saw the decanter, smelt to the sloth, and cried, 'Jack, you have debauched my sloth.'

Fox is a news channel in the way that the Völkischer Beobachter was a newspaper.
