These are sooo going to be in my game. Now, if I could only find a way to get them on the Queen Mary.... *walks away mumbling to herself..*
I just had to share this. This is a little clip of a trillian chat between my wife and I discussing the little drop bear buggers:

We stole a t-bird on our Australia run (boy was shipping it back fun). Named it the Bunyip because we were so dissapointed that we never saw one
LOL! that sounds like a fun story.
I was trying to think of ideas for a run Im doing....
"Whats in the box, Mr. Johnson? Whats in the box!..."
Anytime there is a crate, package, box, ect., runners want to open it. I wonder if I can attach springs where their legs should be...
"Whats in the box, Mr. Johnson? Whats in the box!..."

for the short version:
Since T:AL is in shadowland forum form, our characters were able to read it o nthe way to our run. My character is really into paracritters, so the whole 'mysterios bunyip' thing really hooked him. So of course we ran into every OTHER damn critter in the out back EXCEPT drop bears and bunyips! So I got to wishful thinking or something , and pretty soon, every time something came up, I started to yell "Bunyip!" It probably would have been annoying if it we'd been in a different mood. But it just got funnier, like a good running gag. So we end up aboslutely destroying this middle-of-the-out back cult base ,mostly with a really big fire elemental, some judicious sniping, and taking control of the Steel Lynx's they had patrolling , killed a blood mage, and basically burned the place to the ground. Normally enough to make anyone cheer. But we were all glum because we were done and still hadn't seen any bunyips. But then we found our new t-bird (and the rigger trying to get to it, natch), hi jacked it, and christened it it the bunyip.
And yes, that's the short version.

easiest way to deter this... make the boxes empty or full of pointless crap
"flashlight, rubber ball, newspaper from 3 months ago, dog bone, hair net.. etc etc"
It gets so annoying, they'll stop bothering. Or give them a few dollars in each box, like two bucks.

Armaments, chapter two, verses nine to twenty-one
And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, 'O Lord, bless this Thy hand grenade that, with it, Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits in Thy mercy.' And the Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals and fruit bats.
And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more. No less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then, lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.'

The third edition of Shadowrun renamed the generic grenade launcher from its two prior editions to the Ares Antioch Grenade Launcher. In the German 2nd-edition sourcebook on the German states, a comment on a location protected by the Westphalian Bishop's Guard quips that transgressors would be attacked with Holy Hand Grenades of Antioch. That comment is by a character using the handle Sir Galahad.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone else think that the repeating grenade launcher used by Keanu Reaves in Constantine is an Ares Antioch?
I haven't seen the film, but my local video rental store has it; there's a poster for the film in their front window.
If I'm not mistaken, the barrel of the beastie has a pair of extensions at right angles to the bore. The net result is that the barrel looks like a crucifix.

Monsters work well. Nothing says "you shouldn't have opened this crate" like a heavily cybered ill-tempered mutant juggernaut. A large combat drone with a rating 5 robot pilot and orders to kill whoever opens the crate also works well. Don't forget hundreds of hungry dropbears packed in like sardines.

Nah, it just doesn't have the same ring to it.
Since only Lewis Carol knows that the word Vorpal means, I'd say that it is a unique weapon focus. Perhaps it contains a Bound Free Spirit by that name, perhaps not. Whatever it is, we know that it has some special power against Jabberwockys.
Personally, I don't think one would be able to find a ready made Vorpal Sword anywhere, but one could probably find a formula for a Vorpl Sword scribbled in the margins of the original Alice in Wonderland manuscript.
You fool! The poem is the formula! Now the Enemy has the last key to retub*¥íb???l$’
NO CARRIER
NO CARRIER
This is not a response to a particular person; rather it is directed at anyone who might NOT know what a Vorpal blade/sword is.
As hyzmarca said, it took its name from the poem "Jabberwocky" by Lewis Carroll.
IIRC, under AD&D rules, it was an enchanted sword, used primarily to guard doorways and such.
Using ten-sided percentile dice, the sword DECAPITATED on its first attack with any roll greater than 10.
In other words, a PC or NPC had a one-in-ten chance of survival once the trap was sprung.
I think my brother told me that one of his characters was felled by that particular weapon on at least one occasion.

The questions below about Australia are from potential visitors, some of whom are clearly not very bright. They were posted on an Australian Tourism Website and the answers are the actual responses by the website officials.
Q; Does it ever get windy in Australia? I have never seen it rain on TV, how do the plants grow? (from the UK)
A; We import all plants fully grown and just sit around and watch them die.
Q; Will I be able to see kangaroos in the street? (USA)
A; Depends on how much you've been drinking.
Q; I want to walk from Perth to Sydney - can I follow the railroad track? (Sweden)
A; Sure, it's only three thousand miles, take lots of water.
Q; Is it safe to run around in the bushes in Australia? (Sweden)
A; So, its true what they say about Swedes.
Q; Are there any ATMs (cash machines) in Australia? Can you send me a list of them in Brisbane,Cairns,Townsville and Hervey Bay? (UK)
A; What did your last slave die of?
Q; Can you give me some information about hippo racing in Australia? (USA)
A; A-fri-ca is the big triangle shaped continent south of Europe. Aus-tra-lia is the big island in the middle of the Pacific which does not... oh forget it. Sure, the hippo racing is every Tuesday night In Kings Cross. Come naked.
Q; Which direction is North in Australia? (USA)
A; Face south and then turn 180 degrees. Contact us when you get here and we'll send the rest of the directions.
Q; Can I bring cutlery into Australia? (UK)
A; Why? Just use your fingers like we do.
Q; Can you send me the Vienna Boy's Choir schedule? (USA)
A; Aus-tri-a is that quaint little country bordering Ger-man-y, which is...oh forget it. Sure, the Vienna Boys Choir play every Tuesday night in Kings Cross, right after the hippo races. Come naked.

A; Rattlesnakes live in A-meri-ca which is where YOU come from. All Australian snakes are perfectly harmless, can be safely handled and make good pets.
Q; I have a question about a famous animal in Australia, but I forget its name. It's a kind of bear and lives in trees. (USA)
A; It's called a Drop Bear. They are so called because they drop out of Gum trees and eat the brains of anyone walking underneath them. You can scare them off by spraying yourself with human urine before you go out walking.

A; NO, we DON'T stink.
Q; I have developed a new product that is the fountain of youth. Can you tell me where I can sell it in Australia? (USA)

A; Yes, Gay nightclubs.
Q; Do you celebrate Christmas in Australia? (France)
A; Only at Christmas.
Q; I was in Australia in 1969 on R+R, and I want to contact the girl I dated while I was staying in Kings Cross. Can you help? (USA)
A; Yes, and you will still have to pay her by the hour.
Q; Will I be able to speak English most places I go? (USA)
A; Yes, but you will have to learn it first.
