I have decided to add fuel to the fire and get involved in this
most important, far-reaching, and controversial discussion.

In my travels to the western portions of this country, (this being the
good ol' U S of A), I saw about as many wombats as I did the last
time I passed through the Carolinas.  Since there is no Tim out west
to keep the wombat population down, I conjecture that underground 
nuclear tests must have been responsible.  This is supported by the
fact that the wombats would have been underground, near the blasts,
getting nicely fried (baked?) into wombat burgers.  Problem:
The creature's natural heat resistance (assumed from their life
in the Lower Regions) would have allowed many a wombat to have
survived these blasts at a sufficient distance. This will mean 
that not all of the little beasties will have been killed.
Therefore they must still be there, hiding underground. 
(Does this mean the is a Wombat Underground?!?!?) 

The thing I fear is the rise of a new wombat species,
Wombatus Nucleous, Mutant Menaces from the Depths.
The probable masters of the Wombat Underground, they
control all movements of wombat resources in the area.
(They may even be so powerful as to control every wombat's
movement, making them a strong force if ever unleased.)
What is our fate, to share(?) this planet with such a
menace?  Can no one give me reassurance??  Can no one stop them??
Is this to be taken as a pro-nuclear bombs statement??
Tune in next week to this same net.work, same net.group
for the answers!
