    LOL what is a drop bear?!?

    We have “please stay 48 timbits apart” signs! Lol mostly at Tim Hortons locations were timbits (donut holes) are a part of the menu

      From the wikipedia page: A drop bear (sometimes dropbear, has been assigned the scientific name Thylarctos plummetus) is a hoax in contemporary Australian folklore featuring a predatory, carnivorous version of the koala (Phascolarctos cinereus). This imaginary animal is commonly spoken about in tall tales designed to scare tourists. While koalas are typically docile herbivores (and are not bears), drop bears are described as unusually large and vicious marsupials that inhabit treetops and attack unsuspecting people (or other prey) that walk beneath them by dropping onto their heads from above.

      But now I know exactly what I am going to blog next if I can find the right thing…

    Cute! I’ve seen a sign at a park that says you must stay 3 Canada Geese apart. And trust me, you don’t want to get close to a Canada Goose! 😉

    No, actually, I haven’t seen any good ones. I’ll have to keep a look out.

      I think they’ll become more common, Liz, because with people getting fatigue from the restrictions the government(s) will be looking for new ways to engage the community.

      Oh yeah, and the thing is, people believe it. What you do need to know is to keep them away, you need to put a stripe of vegemite on your nose…
