RE: Bagatelle: the Common Ancestor of Pinball and Pachinko

in #games7 years ago

From the ones you described, the ones that I liked the most were the Corinthian bagatelle and the Japanese pachinko. They seem sui generis and aesthetic, both in their own sense.

Did you know that opossums are marsupials? I didn't know that before. I learned it after I got bitten by one and the doctor said that marsupials can't carry rabies.

Sort:  

Interesting. I knew they were marsupials, but did not know they could not carry rabies. That story might be worth posting (by you, not me!).

I googled it just to be sure and this is what I found:

Answer: Any mammal can get rabies. However, the chance of rabies in an opossum is EXTREMELY RARE. This may have something to do with the opossum's low body temperature (94-97º F) making it difficult for the virus to survive in an opossum's body.

So they can have rabies in the end, but it's so rare that the possibility is negligible.
