That’s why the emu and the kangaroo are part of the Australian Coat of Arms. Both can’t walk backwards, so no retreat and they have to stand and fight.
Of course, whales can’t walk at all… so …they don’t count.
(Well, of course they don’t count… they don’t know about numbers. They don’t swim in schools.)
Anyway…. supposedly… but it might be apocryphal…. the Australian coat of arms features a kangaroo and an emu because not only are they distinctively Australian….
…. but unlike, say, the platypus, kookaburra, or wallaby, they represent the idea that the nation does not move backwards.
EMUS spelled backward means squat, too. I know this has nothing to do with the believe or not fact, but just came to my mind. With all the dithering, twittering and social media going about, I’ll put in my 1/100 of my two cents worth in .

…which, I suppose, is why you seldom hear emus making political promises.

While I don’t have a Twitter, what does Maezawa-san tweet mostly about?

Maybe Bigfoot hid the real statue and pretended to be it, so that people would stop shooting at him.

Come on, it was MOCKsville. And 100 million Yen is not even one million US dollars. So every retweeter would get 17 cents if counted as a follower.

So Emus cannot play cornerback in the NFL …

Kangaroos can’t walk backwards, either.
Neither can whales.

I did not make that up!

Emus can, but it has to be a moonwalk.

Ok, this Bigfoot line is a “Believe It Or Not”? These guys are getting really hard up for content.

I wonder how many bullet holes the Bigfoot statue has in it.

I just saw the new movie “Smallfoot” yesterday—it’s a cute animated story about yetis. Nothing spectacular, but fun & worth watching once =)

But just in case, the Emu’s have evolved rear bumpers…
