Koalas also have fingerprints, so I ask them to rob banks for me. And they're so obliging!

Unicorntraveller, True. Indian civilizations are one of the most advanced and oldest civilizations. I can confirm you after seeing the construction of Kailasa temple which is one of the most underrated constructions in the world. Interested people can check in Wiki ;)
