  1. This was a great emuan interest story. Well done Ms. Freebersyser. I liked the sound effects and I had no idea that first, this flightless bird would be so hard to capture and second, that they were dangerous, though I have heard that swans, which are much smaller, can whup our human butts.

  2. Outstanding journalism? Is there any evidence that Liberty Mutual insurance company is behind the rogue emu?
