Hey kids, today I'm going to talk about the great Emu War.

So here's what happened, right?

Our story begins in Australia, home of the upside down hopper.

The year is 1932.

A very large chunk of the country's population lives on homesteads, just putting seeds in the ground and waiting for food to show up, you know.

But their lives are hard.

Firstly, Australian soil kind of blows; it's pretty terrible for farming.

Like on scale from Margaret Thatcher's corpse to Octomom, Australia's soil is a solid Hillary Clinton infertility.

Secondly, the whole Great Depression thing is going on, which automatically makes everything suck worse.

And third and possibly most important is the emu infestation.
