Anybody got a kangaroo bone?
I can think of a few people I'd like to try this on, although I'm not sure how I'd look in possum skin.
Aborigines invoked an ancient curse on Australian Prime Minister John Howard on Tuesday by "pointing the bone" at the conservative politician to protest against his decision to scrap a top aboriginal body.Aborigines believe that to point a kangaroo bone at someone is to bring that person ill fortune, and the black magic is strong enough to cause death.
An aboriginal woman dressed in possum skin and traditional tribal makeup confronted Howard on Tuesday after he made a speech in a rural town and pointed a one-inch bone at the politician to place a silent curse on him.

I have a sister-in-law living in Oz who can probably send me a 'roo bone. And I have a possum staging nightly raids on our cat's food dish, causing me to think I'd like to skin the little thief... maybe we can work something out here, huh?
I know 'targets' should be easy to come up with.

if we could get some hair from the intended target we could make a voodoo doll too. if nothing else, we could sodomize the voodoo doll with the kangaroo bone... it wont do any good, but it could be a stress reliever...

Hey, John Howard's kind of cute, in a Cheney-meets-Gorbachev kind of way. So what if some Aborigines pointed the bone at him? Hell, after a few drinks I might have done the same thing, and...
Oh--hold on, I just re-read the article a little more carefully. Never mind.
