Links: Plus, We’re Never Out of Milk

And finally: Beach Bouncer

No fair, Australia: Not only do you have lovely beaches, such as Angourie Beach on the New South Wales coast, but you even have the occasional kangaroo hopping across them. (via Douglas L.)

    Trying to think of other escapees to name the babies after but coming up blank. The cute must be frying my brain.

    There is such a thing as a mini cow. Who knew?

      It doesn’t say what sex the young ‘uns are, but the only trio of prison escapees I can think of are Clarence Anglin, John Anglin and Frank Morris, who escaped from Alcatraz in 1962. Mind you, they were never seen again and almost certainly drowned in the attempt…

        Well, Capys do like to swim…

        Let’s see – Papillon escaped from Devil’s Island, so…’Capillon’? (unless that means something naughty in French).

          Oh, and Harry Houdini and D.B. Cooper.

    During the escape attempt by captured Allied airmen from Nazi Germany POW camp Stalag Luft III in 1944 – an event depicted in the movie The Great Escape – three tunnels were dug by the prisoners there, nicknamed Tom, Dick and Harry. I suppose if one of the capy baby is a girl, she could be Harriet instead.

    76 Allied POW would eventually escape, of which 73 would be re-captured. The 3 successful escapees are Norwegian pilots Per Bergsland and Jens Müller, plus Dutch pilot Bram van der Stok.
