The one KT was on

3. Which of the following Australian animals is not a marsupial?
A) Bandicoot B) Echidna
C) Tasmanian Devil D) Wombat

Taz is a cartoon, Edna the Echidna's a Merry Man, and Crash Bandicoot's a video game character. That means the wombat can't be the correct answer because there's nothing funny for me to say about it

Can't even venture a guess - it would be ironic if it was either the California or Carpithia (if that is how the ship that rescured the Titanic survivors is spelt) so I go for a joke answer: The Anti Doria

That's because it's funny enough by itself just to say "wombat"

Isn't it the cat that got cooked in Hawaii? Cooked, get it? That is so not going to be funny if it isn't Cook. Btw, I would not know this if it weren't for the QOD last month.
