No I didn't know that, but that's probably because it isn't true. They are resistant to it, but not immune.

It's also interesting to note that that sketch has given rise to an incorrect collective noun which is now so widely repeated that even "experts" will claim it to be genuine, when it isn't :)

Superb :)

It's not a flange of baboons, no.

But even scientists are now quoting it, which is just wonderful IMHO :)

I'm sorry heather, but your information is incorrect. My Husband and I work wildlife damage control for our state, and have our information as directly from a current and reputable source as possible. The oppossum is a marsupial. Marsupials, for some reason we don't quite understand yet, cannot contract or carry rabies.
Your information about the resistance factors are correct, however, and are as close to the current information we have as far as understanding why this is so.

It's a slightly spooky thought, but damn funny, that a TV comedy can add to the language :)

They won’t be home and dry though, until the OED accepts it.

None of my changes lasts longer than a couple of days though

I mean, I have heard from a VERY reliable source that the Queen went nude bungee-jumping on her last New Zealand trip. Honest!!
