There has never been a fatality from a bear attack in the history of Pennsylvania ... ever ... EVER ... there are no BEARS in Australia, let alone any fatal Koala attacks

Actually there are bears in Australia albeit not native - in zoo's (Polar Bears, Panda Bears etc) - the native Koala is called a Koala Bear although not from the species bear as such.
Further to the wireless trains often my electric locos (AI) divert onto a track section without catenary and they still keep going - so wireless in terms of Trainz is truly possible if not prototypical (tongue in cheek)!
I hope everyone had a great April Fools Day long live the Jester's!!!
It's those three-toed sloths that you have to watch very carefully...
My April Fools Day prank this year was a special one. Today was the day my boss moved to another store, so we had a little party for her. I first thought of taking a piece of the cake brought to the party and smashing the piece into her face. After thinking about it, I decided not to as I could have been fired for that. Therefore, I decided to take a piece of printer paper and wrote 'Call me Tater Tot' on it and tried to stick it to the back of her shirt. Unfortunately, I ended up chasing her out of the break room, where the party was going on. After she left the room, a co-worker said, "I've never seen her run that fast before."
Whenever I do a prank, I try to make it so subtle, you have to pay close attention in order to notice it.
My previous prank was during college football season. We can make copies of keys, so along with the normal keys, we have some keys that are 'themed', i.e. football, Disney, etc. So we had keys for the University of Georgia (UGA), which everyone else at work are fans of, and the University of Tennessee (UT), which I'm a fan of. On the display that had all the football keys on it, I placed a University of Tennessee key on every hook that had University of Georgia keys on it, resulting with the only keys you can see are the UT keys. The lady who usually works in that area of our store told me later that she would make me rearrange all the keys we have for sale. Very subtle, and not noticeable, until it gets pointed out.

I can assure you as a lifetime resident of Australia that Dropbears do exist.
The rumors about them not existing are promulgated by the Australian Government to avoid scaring off the tourists.
We Aussies tend to just not really push the issue as we often get female foreign tourists running to our tents in the dead of night after they hear a Dropbear stalking them.
The bears seem to stay away from Aussies so we normally do our duty and protect them.
It's been proven the best way to do that is to cover the girls in our scent by wrapping our bodies tightly around them.

They are not related to Koala bears.

Let's see if I have this right. There are drop bears in Australia that are powered by wireless induction?

Now, that's just being silly...
AussiePaul is correct, wireless would never work. They are all solar powered!
I am glad you pointed this out. From now on, I'll make sure I spread Vegemite behind my ears every time I go wandering around the Australian outback.
) late to the party, but I just wanted to say "Happy April Fool's to you, too"!Just to let you know, it's Nikola Tesla. If you want to see his achievements, click here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikola_Tesla

I've read lots of books about Tesla, but that doesn't stop me spelling his name wrong!

Wireless is not the same as Wire Less.
Wireless infers works by radio waves which is fairly clear from the picture is what was inferred and is not technically possible other than sending radio signals to control whatever source actually powers a locomotive as in remote control, think drones etc.
Wire less is without any wires so the power source or fuel has to be provided either on board or via a third rail etc.
