I have to say I found the following story amusing.
Man Allegedly Beat Woman with Frozen Armadillo
Published : Tuesday, 18 Oct 2011, 12:26 PM CDT
DALLAS - A man used a frozen armadillo to attack a 57-year old Pleasant Grove woman, Dallas police said.
The incident happened on Sept. 29 in an apartment complex parking lot.
According to investigators, the altercation occurred when the suspect was selling the carcass to the victim, who planned to eat the animal.
The pair apparently began arguing over the price of the item when the man twice threw the armadillo at the woman.
The animal first struck the woman in the leg and then in her chest.
She was reportedly bruised by the attack.
Detectives have been unable to find the man, who could face assault charges.

During the depression it was not uncommon for this to occur. I had found recipes for this in some of the older cookbooks that I had inherited. Just thought I would share a a recipe for you:
Since my cookbooks are in storage, I will share a recipe from Discuss Cooking.
Possum Stew
Yes, I am aware that not everyone eats possum and the old joke about roadkill is truly lame. One should remember that not everyone gets their coffee at Starbucks or their meat at the local grocery. So if possum is not to your liking, just roll over and play dead until next month.
Ingredients:
1 big possum
½ cup olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 medium yellow onions, sliced
4 carrots, cut in thick slices
2 cups fresh or frozen corn
3 strips of thick-cut bacon diced
½ cup tomato juice
1 28 oz. can diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 Habanero peppers diced (wear gloves)
¼ cup white vinegar
10-12 drops Tabasco
salt and pepper to taste
6 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced
Preparation
1. Rub possum with salt and pepper.
2. Brown possum in olive oil in a large skillet.
3. Transfer possum to large dutch oven or stock pot.
4. Fill oven/pot 2/3 full with water.
5. Add vinegar, onions, carrots, corn, and habanero peppers.
6. Bring to boil and add bacon.
7. Cover tightly, reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour.
8. Bring to boil and add potatoes, garlic, Tabasco, tomatoes and juice.
9. Cover tightly, reduce heat and simmer for another hour.
10. Make a no lump paste of cornstarch and warm water.
