Jogging is a dangerous hobby

Remember the cartoons where kangaroos could box? (Rick, help me out with this.) As it turns out, that was more than just amusing fiction, it was actually a warning to all of us young children to be wary of wallabies and other creatures–because they want to hurt us.

David Striegl was jogging recently when a kangaroo came out of nowhere and attacked him. Striegl was knocked unconscious by the beast and its lightning fast moves. Keep in mind, Striegl is an Australian rules football player (it’s like rugby, only with more punches thrown), so for him to be felled by a foe is no small feat.

He said he remembers little about the attack, and there is no word on whether the animal took his wallet.

  1. The baby kangaroo, or Giant Mouse, was featured in the Looney Tunes cartoons “Hippety Hopper” and “Pop ‘im Pop.” Both star Sylvester the Cat trying to catch a giant mouse which is really an escaped baby kangaroo. The second one, “Pop ‘im Pop” also stars Sylvester Junior, who the elder is trying to impress with his mousing skills.
