RIP: Heidi The Crosseyed Opossum

"This week Heidi the cross-eyed opossum was put to sleep at Germany's Leipzig zoo. Heidi was three and a half and had been listless and unable to move for weeks."

PANGAEA!

the earthquake's got me thinking about another one of my favorite natural phenomena, pAnGaEa!! liz didn't know what it was, so i just was explaining it to her. she still doesn't get it, jicyww. while i was sending her links, i stumbled across this diagram of the earth during the triassic period, when we were between pangaea and now-times.

the bottom half of the world was called gondwanaland, which i recognized as also the name of heidi the cross-eyed opossum's house! which is getting an UP! grade. check it out. she's going to be so happy there.

heidi the cross-eyed oscar-predicting german opossum!

best idea ever.

not sure how this got past me...

...but take a look at this gd opossum! her name is heidi, she lives in germany, she has a facebook page, and she is cRoSsEyEd!!!!!!111


there are internet rumors that she might be "performing" at the oscars. i've got MY eyes crossed for that!

it's puppy day on 2Pz!

if you're anything like me, you were just sitting at your desk, staring off into the distance and trying to visualize what 2Pz puppy friend yuki must've looked like a baby. and then BAM! all your prayers were answered right in your inbox. introducing....

....BABY YUKI!

she's totes half opossum.

thxsomuch lilly!

what did katie do yesterday?

thx beeun!

i'm still trying to make sense of it all, but the producers of this video have a website, which seems to be focused around the philosphies of a "transcended squirrel". here's a quote from a response to a reader question:

"It’s rare to run across an opossum who is a diva. It’s even more rare to run across a squirrel who is not."

i just love that.
