    		Unclerick may be angling for the giant panda, whose supposed opposable thumbs have ignited a further controversy between creationists and evolutionists.

    		Actually I was looking for opossums. I was using Snopes as my source and it seems they are not aware of koalas and pandas. Maybe someone should rattle their cage a bit. Nice work everyone.
