When opossums are playing 'possum, they are not "playing." They actually pass out from sheer terror.

Oh!! There was a Japanese TV show that concentrated on useless trivia and I think that Spike TV aired it for a while.

There were things like how many newspapers that you can stock on top of eachother til it toppled over or how diamonds are very resistent to scratches but can be smashed rather easily.
