The guy's a strict vegetarian so I won't make any 'Shrimp on the barbie' jokes here. Plus, well, he's the Dalai Lama.
The spiritual leader of the world's Tibetan and Mongolian Buddhists visited Australia Zoo and thanked the family of the late "Crocodile Hunter," Steve Irwin, for their dedication to wildlife. He addressed a sold-out crowd and spoke about topics ranging from the benefits of vegetarianism to the indifference of companies and organizations in regards to animal testing.
Bindi Irwin, the 8-year-old daughter of the late Steve Irwin, met the Dalai Lama on stage on Wednesday. She was hugging a koala.
In unrelated news, Paris Hilton, the 26-year-old daughter of Kathy and Rick HIlton, met her lawyer in a jail cell on Wednesday. There were no koalas present.
