Hi to everybody...just watched a bit of the prog on BBC4 on Cook's voyage to Australia...when he discovered and named Botany Bay, he saw some animals and asked the indigenous people of the area what they were called, they answered in their language 'I dunno'. Cook heard their answer and the animal was called a Kangaroo from then on which literally means...'I dunno' but he didn't know at the time that's what their answer had been...HLOL...
Great big hugs...XXX
