Possum throwing[edit]
Apparent hoax, can find no information about this "sport". Prod removed by author. Wildthing61476 17:49, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Apparently a New Zealand newspaper published a picture of a purported "dead possum-throwing contest", and a reader complained to the NZ Press Council about it. But that's not enough to create an encyclopaedia article that is anything more than a restatement of its title. Moreover, this article purports to be about throwing opossums, not possums. The article cites no sources, and I can find no sources. Delete. Uncle G 18:21, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
