I don't know about kangaroos, but there sometime during the 1990s, there were more than 1000 sheep per thousand people. And Australian-and-sheep? WTF? You appear to be confusing us with the Kiwis! I've told and/or heard enough jokes about fush-end-chup-uytung-Kuywuys-wuth-sheep (fish-and-chip-eating-Kiwis-with-shuyp for those unfamiliar with spelling Kiwi in Aussie (or /f@S @n ts@p @it@N k@iw@is w@T S@ip/, but if 'and' was stressed, it'd be /End/) to last a lifetime! (With apologies to Andrew and any other Kiwis, if they want them.) Tristan
