True. And if frogs had wings, no doubt other amazing things would happen. You are obviously unaware of the giant flying vampire toad of Florida. :-) Oh, ****. Florida is only 20 miles away! First it was Formosan termites from New Orleans, now this. I'm surrounded. -- Dan C172RG at BFM |

I'm surrounded. | -- The giant flying vampire toad (actually a species of frog -- and the only toothed frog at that) preys only on golfers. It weighs about 20 pounds and hides in trees, waiting for golfers to pass underneath. Then it glides down on a slimy, leathery membrane stretched between its legs, fastens its two, hollow teeth into the golfer's neck, and sucks his blood. Golfers have started avoiding golf courses where this toad lives, so the Federal government declared the toad an endangered species and ordered Florida to select golfers at random in order to feed the vampires. Florida sued, and the Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Endangered Species Act was not intended to protect species that deserved to be extinct. Last I heard, the Supreme Court had ordered that the case be re-heard in another Circuit where the judges did not play golf in Florida. |
