Opossums Overrun Brooklyn, Fail To Eliminate Rats
__roo writes "In a bizarre case of life imitates the Simpsons, New York City officials introduced a population of opossums into Brooklyn parks and under the boardwalk at Coney Island, apparently convinced that the opossums would eat all of the rats in the borough and then conveniently die of starvation. Several years later, the opossums have not only failed to eliminate the rat epidemic from New York City, but they have thrived, turning into a sharp-toothed, foul-odored epidemic of their own."
Wow, tons of anti-second amendment idiots in this thread. Way to waste those mod points!
There is a war going on for your mind.
Just because you find the truth to be hurtful to your perceived manliness, does not mean that we all need to keep quiet. That's the problem with guns. They don't really improve your stature, and now you are exposed to the world with nothing left but your own shortcomings.
