A few days ago I shared some news that the Eurovision song from Israel would be named "Your land is mine now" to later realize it was from an onion kind of website, lol.

I hope I'm not alone in this kind of f'up.

I honestly thought that kangaroos were poisonous. That they had a kind of stinger on the elbow.

I even managed to convince a few people of it, including two Australians.

Then later I couldn't find it any more on Wikipedia. Apparently it was a prank edit years ago.
