The latest Fad in Auzieland

CANBERRA, Australia (AP); 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.

Landowners around the Tasmania state town of Burnie helped scrape together 55 pounds of kangaroo and wallaby dung for the local business, Creative Paper Tasmania (search), to make the unique paper pulp, manager Joanne Gair said.

"It's a great product for tourists, but it's also something that gets our eco-friendly message home to a lot of people," said Gair, whose paper products contain no wood.

The sand-colored sheets will be embossed with the words "Genuine Kangaroo Poo," she said. Roughly 400 sheets can be made from 55 pounds of the fibrous droppings.

"We've got enough to make our first batch, but if we're going to get into serious production, we're going to need a bit of assistance," she said.

they'll be environmentally friendly by starting great wallaby herds, fenced in so the poop is easily collectible. Possibly they will be held in a pen with a wire mesh bottom so the poop collects underneath.

This is the fate of the Kangaroo!

Tasmania isn't part of Australia, according to everyone except Tasmanians.

Tasmanians have six fingers and two heads. It's such a small place everyone is related. Which means Tasmanians have parents who are related. Since before marriage.

Ok, enough disparaging Tasmanians. It's like kicking someone when they're down.

We all know this is a front for arming Ninja Monkeys, poo paper is so nonthreatening that no one would notice.  Or so they thought.

actually, the ninja monkeys aren't responsible this time. They merely buy the paper to make paper airplanes for more effective and aerodynamic poo delivery.

Don't underestimate the power of Ninja Monkeys when combined with the unbeatable paper wasp.
