Evolution isn't perfect. Just as the Kennedy family can produce a Ted, some noble species go down the wrong genetic path and what used to be the Tyrannosaurus Rex can wind up as a modern chicken.

There is no evolution. Only a list of animals Chuck Norris allows to live.

Finally, the final nail in the final coffin of Darwnistic Finality. They will never be able to deny this refutation of their implausible assertions, claiming undeniability even though Dinah Shore just denied it.

Possums are cool. I took care of a baby possum once. If you set out two bowls of water, they’ll use one as a toilet. It sounds disgusting, but actually, it makes clean-up very easy. Just dump the mess in the toilet.

I had a cousin that caught a mama possum with babies attached. He wore the babies in his hair for a few minutes before returning them to mom and releasing them.

Possums are cool.

I have heard that one should avoid putting two male possums in the same enclosure, as one of them will bite off the other one's tail.

Don’t disrespect the pig. Without them there would be no bacon, ham, baby back ribs, pork chops...

Don't watch the video clip then. The piglet is so cute and dog-like it almost made me give up bacon.

Dinah Shore witnessed Helen Thomas murder the dinosaurs with her "Medusa-like" gaze.
