Heard about this yet; (CNN.com):

(CNN) A Pennsylvania man attempted to resuscitate "a road-killed opossum," state police say.

But this was one possum who wasn't playing possum the ugly creature remained dead.

Troopers responding to the scene in Oliver Township on Thursday determined that Donald J. Wolfe, 55, of Brookville, was drunk, according to the police report.

Several witnesses observed Wolfe's failed resurrection of the flattened marsupial, police said. It was not immediately clear how he endeavored to restore the possum's life.

The arresting officer in the incident was unavailable for comment Friday. Attempts to reach Wolfe were also unsuccessful.

Wolfe will be charged with one charge of public drunkenness, police said.

man, do you know the stench and amount of viruses and parasites live on dead rodents (or marsupials)? i really hope he wasnt doing mouth to mouth[:'(]

speaking of road kill, there is a flattened bunny by my mailbox... by the looks of it, someone saw it, then stopped and slid right on it, because there is a red trail 15 feet long towards the final resting spot.
