Kangaroo Poo?

A lot of people in the US think of Australians as Americans with strange accents. This should give them second thoughts.

CANBERRA, Australia - An environmentally friendly paper manufacturer has stumbled upon an unlikely way to put an unwanted natural resource to good use. The company has created its first batch of paper from marsupial manure....

The sand-colored sheets will be embossed with the words "Genuine Kangaroo Poo".... Roughly 400 sheets can be made from 55 pounds of the fibrous droppings.
At first I wondered, "who would want such a thing?" Then I read, the manufacturer's explanation: "It's a great product for tourists," she said.

Right! Good luck with that.
