The University of North Carolina has finally found a network server that, although missing for four years, hasn't missed a packet in all that time. Try as they might, university administrators couldn't find the server. Working with Novell Inc., IT workers tracked it down by meticulously following cable until they literally ran into a wall. The server had been mistakenly sealed behind drywall by maintenance workers.

This one time, my mom found a possum out in the barn, eating the catfood. So she grabbed it by the tail, walked all the way out to the back of the field, and threw it over the fence, where it proceeded to play dead. Apparently it didn't even try to get away, and even "walked" on its front paws when it was close enough to the ground to touch it.

Heh. I have an opossum story. Cue flashback effect

It is July of 2002, at night. I'm sitting here clacking away at my computer until I happen to barely notice the sound of the kitchen cabinets being opened. At first I thought dad had come home and was rummaging for food. But the sound persisted. So I go downstairs and I find that dad is not home. Curious and a little perplexed, I look inside the cabinets. Reason why I did that first is because my cat would used to do the same thing. It would crawl into the kitchen cabinets. I've had stray cats come into me home before. Anyway, I'm opening cabinets and I hear foot patter. I open that cabient and lo! I discover that an opossum had invaded. I try to get the critter out but it just crawled deeper in. I just let it be there for I knew that it would just eventually leave.

I return back to my room to resume said keyboard clacking. All of a sudden something catches my eye below my desk. I look down...and it's the same opossum! I scream out HOLY S***! I spend the next 20 minutes trying to get the creature out of my room. I chase it out of my room, it scurries downstairs into the bathroom. I spend another 1/2 hour trying to get it out of the bathroom. I get it out of the bathroom and it hides under the couch. Grrr. Meanwhile I am talking to one of my friends. She (yes she) was quite amused by this.

So by the end I've spent nearly 3 hours trying to get a critter out of my house. I frantically try to get a hold of my dad but as usual he is unavailable. So I just let the opossum roam around. Dad comes home and tells me that it will leave soon to forage. It eventually leaves but it left behind presents in the form of droppings. Naturally I disinfect EVERYTHING it crapped on.

So that's my opossum tale (no pun intended).

why didn't you just kill it?

I've hated the damn things ever since one of them tried [unsucessfully] to bite me. I got mad and then kicked it in the head hard and killed it. It's not nice to try to bite me.

Heh, at least you never had a possum chew on your toe, like one did to my sister a long time ago. She told me that she was working on her computer when she suddenly felt something wet nipping at her toe. When she thought it might have been just one of the cats, she look and saw that is was a big possum! She jolted and chased the possum away from her.
