Welcome to the website of a wanderjahr: my yearlong disciplined whimsy. Sponsored by the Watson Fellowship, I will be traveling to six sites around the world in search of the many nuances of lake-monster culture. Particular emphases include implications upon tourism, identity, and the changing role of mythology.
The Watson Year is underway, and I'm now in
Rotterdam, Holland as of
4 April.
Seeking a sedentary slowdown...
If you would like to receive a Lake Monster Culture update, about once a month during the project, include your email here:(Note: Buck respects your privacy, and will not sell emails to any lake-monsters.)
Hehe...did you ever hear how they become able to digest the eucalyptus leaves? Koalas aren't born with the right bacteria in their GI tracts to digest it, so as babies they're forced to eat their mommies' poo in order to acquire the needed bacteria. Sounds appetizing, eh?
P.S. It's not a good idea to try re-enacting this with your girlfriend.
What girlfriend? Heh... Any other crazy facts about koalas?
