The Wombat never gets anything done, because it is easily distracted. It is distracted by little things like squirrels (from this gallery, via MeFi, naturally), or The Apostle Hagrid.

It's also distracted by larger things, like the question of the relationship of a country's political system to its likely role as a hotbed of terrorist antagonism to the U.S..

It can also be distracted by reading about other people distracting themselves.

If you need to distract yourself from something but help other people while you are doing it, you might try taking a few minutes to help out with The Katrina PeopleFinder Project.
