19. A large one chased me into my apartment the other week.
I was outside in my complex having a smoke. Didnt have my glasses on, when I saw a large cat(what I thought was a cat), by the dumpster. I waltzed over to pet the furry feline when I heard a loud hissing sound. I then realized it was a HUGE Oposum, and he charged me, chasing me into my safe abode.
Scared the shit out of me!

88. I swear to God , this is true!......
Male opossums have a bifid penis. Its forked. It has 2 tips.
The female's vagina is also forked. Each penile tip sends sperm cells up a different uterine horn.

(Oh Jeez. Am I about to get my first locked thread?)
Mods, its not sex. Its SCIENCE!

And are possums able to be domesticated? They look sort of wild and vicious. Like a yorkie crossed with a monkey crossed with a rat.

61. I have a friend who tamed an opossum
She found him when he was a baby and bottle fed him until he was big enough to eat solid food. She still has him--he doesn't bite or hiss. She keeps him in a large cage during the day and lets him roam around her house at night.

83. "Snatch " started out small and cute and frien...and then eventually......
...develpoed a menacing hissing aspect. It ws like he'd forgotten we'd ever met.
Worse was his eventual habit of defensively loosening and emptying his bowells upon contact with people.
He could actually shoot the stuff.

The water in this case being my freaked out imagination. :)

I found two babies outside on my patio that haven't grown to monstrous proportions in my recollections of them.

It would appear that when they enter the house they go through some type of metamorphosis.
