Well d’uh, it was twenty-fucking-thousand emus spread over a fairly large area and just two guys in a truck with a machine gun.

    And, of course, losing the Emu war doesn't mean the same as losing an actual war. The emus didn't kill a single human. The "war" was "lost" because the humans got bored and stopped killing emus en masse.

    It's kinda like "losing" the war on "dandelions" in the backyard.

    Was it bored or did the whole affair just prove futile, especially with the lack of resources?

    Also dandelions are sick, I don’t know why people see a bunch of yellow and go “hey, you’re ruining my bland monoculture!”
