RE: [Info-ingres] What animal should Ingres be?

Hi Dr Evil,

I'm totally with you on the Fire Ant. Some idiot managed to
import them into Oz. They liked what they saw. Eventually several
councils had to be nuked and straffed with Napalm to get rid of the
bastards.

Either that or the mighty Cactoblastus Moth. Some idiot
managed to introduce the Prickly Pear Cactus to Oz. It liked what it saw
and within a few years hundreds of thousands of Acres of good land
was 30 foot deep in Cactus. Eventually someone worked out that the
only thing that eats Prickly Pear was this little Moth. Its now one of the
great examples of biological control - and if you've ever had a prickly
pair you'd want something done about it too.

Either that or the Army Boot. Some idiot managed to introduce
the Cane Toad to Oz. Nothing stops the poisonous little bastards. Its
now getting to the point where cannibal frogs - whose tadpoles prey on
the toad tadpole (and hopefully nothing else) - are being considered.
But I'm old fashioned, I say nothing stops a Cane Toad like the well
placed heel of an Army Boot.

Either that or Sharks with Frickin Laser Beams on their heads.
No idiots managed to introduce those to Oz.
