The one with the stoned possums

New Zealand possums are helping out police by eating marijuana plants. It ends up possums don't really play dead ... they're just totally baked.

In less funny news, funny man Don Knotts died.

Panic ensued when a University of Texas student thought she found ricin, although it ended up not being the deadly toxin. In fact it's probably the substance more commonly found on college campuses: Ramen.

And finally, scientists have found a way to create breasts from stem cells. While they've only done it on a mouse so far (the most popular mouse in the lab, I might add), the process could one day be used to regrow breasts on women who have lost them in surgery or to increase breast size. The most amazing thing about this research? It wasn't conducted by a man.
