WOMBAT Powered
A wombat (Vombatus ursinus) is a somewhat cute marsupial from Australia. They are similar to koalas except that they burrow and don’t have a propensity for eucalyptus. They are fairly peaceful creatures, unless provoked.
However, WOMBAT is an acronym that stands for “Waste Of Money, Brains, And Talent”, and it’s responsible for this site. This site is an enormous WOMBAT.
