The cane toad, or Bufo Marinus, was introduced to Hawaii and Australia in 1935 to control the beetle population (to protect the Sugar Cane) As it turned out, the cane toads had little interest in the beetles and more keen on reproduction, and have "who's your father-ed" their way to invasive species status, costing millions of dollars per year to eradicate. One of the largest toad species in North America, adult cane toads grow to four pounds, on average. They are highly toxic, even when handled. Some of the effects of the poison are burning of the eyes and hands. They have proven lethal to dogs unfortunate enough to pick one up in it's mouth.

**But, to really appreciate the current status of the Cane Toad in Queensland, you've got to check out this hilarious animated short: www.cane-toad.com

A really interesting piece that aired last week on Countdown with Keith Olbermann, looking back at the Bush Presidency and counting how many times serious issues for the President were quickly followed by elevated terror threats. Wanna take a guess how many times...thirteen.

Read the story or watch the video on the MSNBC site.

When I heard there was a banned iTunes commercial featuring Eminem floating around there I expected to hear some sort of controversial lyric or something. When you watch it though it is not apparent at all why Apple would not air this spot.
Until you see this spot done for Lugz (click on Archives, then Lugz to find the video).

Just watched the last two episodes (courtesy of iTunes)and I wanted to check out what the fans are saying on the boards now that I'm caught up. Here was something interesting...this is someone's screengrab from episode three of the first season. The logo on the plane behind Walt looks very familiar.

I found this to be really clever and funny.
