====== [Off topic] A possum ate my car ======

I shit you not. One of [[wp>Possum|these little buggers]] [wikipedia] chewed its way through four coolant hoses on my beloved automobile. Not little nibbles either - there are big, big holes with teeth marks. I'm guessing the bastard was after the [[wp>Ethylene_glycol|ethylene glycol]] [ibid], due to it's sweet sugary taste. Unfortunately for Mr. Possum - whom we may assume did not read the [[http://www.sciencestuff.com/msds/C1722.html|materials safety data sheet]] [www.sciencestuff.com] - ethylene glycol is toxic if ingested, and may cause disorders of the central nervous system. Damn shame, that.

Oh yes, a retrospective coarse-language warning applies to this post. If small children or the elderly are reading this site, please cover the offending words using a marker pen or equivalent. Thankyou.
