I found out yesterday where the name kangaroo came from. Turns out that when the early white settlers first came to Australia, they pointed at the roo and asked the Aborigines what they were. THe Aborigines said "kangaroo" which means "I don't understand" so the white settlers thought thats what the animal was called.True story. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif
