Wombats do square poos!

[1ozzy]

In addition to scent markings, or scents produced by the hormones that animals release, wombats leave their cube-shaped scat as territorial signposts on the tops of rocks and logs. That distinct shape is beneficial since the flat sides of the cubes keep the droppings in place on their precarious locations.

Makes you glad you're not a wombat ;-)

The Aboriginals used them to make dice. It's where the game of Craps originated.

I wonder if the saying '*** bricks' came from that.

[1ozzy]

Probably ;-)

[Arksided]

fluffing cockney's who'd have 'em... the expression were S-H-I-T-T-I-N-G.. bricks.

What shape is their bum hole?

Who told you they were cross-eyed ?

[1ozzy]

'Twasn't me Seekz, I don't tell porkies ;-/

[Old_Geezer]

Well if I encounter one I shall ensure I'm carrying nothing. That should scare them away.

Little known fact, wombats originated on the Carribean island formerly known as Cubeass.
That name has been abbreviated over the centuries of course.
