Basically I feel like I rescued a cat only to find out it wasn't a cat but a rabid opossum

I remember during swim practice one of those guys managed to get into the pool. We were messing with it a ton and I think it just swam into the filter or lane line to get away. I already knew not to fuck with them but I thought it would be pretty funny if one of my friends got bit so I didn't tell them about what they were messing with. I showed them the Wikipedia about it the next day and they flipped out. Good times

You broke your virginity and didn't even get to hear them?

Disappointing.

The lack of a head and the weird front legs should have been the give away

I've been looking for one of these bastards since I got the Audubon insect guide at 3. Cicadas are a dime for an infinite amount of cicadas.

Well this is just a happy ending for everyone. You didn't get bitten by a giant water-bug, and the water-bug didn't get hit by a car.

Kek those screams.

I got bit by one of those once, but a smaller one. I was surprised.

If I ever see one of these bugs I am going to pulverize it with the hardest object available to me. I'm not big on killing things, but those things have no business living.

Possums can't get rabies.

Yes they can. It's just not as common with them.
