What’s the weirdest thing you’ve stumbled across on the internet recently? Mine is the Wikipedia page about the time Australia declared war on emus. And lost.
It’s called The Great Emu War, and it happened in 1932. Aussie farmers were incensed about emus eating their crops, so the government sent in the military to wipe out the entire population of giant flightless birds. What happened next was like a real-life version of a roadrunner and Wil.E.Coyote cartoon.
