It is unfortunate we can no longer be protected by Charlton Heston. But I’ll bet Obama offered his services since he is of the idea he can do the work just like Moses.

There is a herpetologist here at the Denver Zoo that says their ‘dart frogs’ at the zoo are not poisonous.

She said they get their poison comes from a certain plant (or combination of plants) they eat, and they do not have that (or those) plants at the zoo.

The dart frogs themselves are immune from the poison, however they secrete it through their skin once the frogs have digested it.
The natives use the secretion as poison for their darts.

I found that bit of trivia interesting, as I thought it was the frog itself that was poisonous.

When my sister and her Honduran husband lived in Honduras, they had two dogs, a doberman and a German shepherd, that both died after biting into those poisonous toads........

Snakes, toads, bugs, Florida has them all...........

I’m surprised no one has started up a “shotgun charter” for the rivers that are infested with those damn things........

When I was a kid, we had a deluge of tiny frogs. It seemed like they fell from the sky, but I was too young to remember clearly. Maybe a tornado had sucked them up. But there were tiny little frogs everywhere!

One reviewer said the supporting cast was so bad, it was fun to watch them get killed off.

Sam Elliott’s “beefcake” scenes in which he removes his shirt reportedly helped him earn the title role in the 1976 movie “Lifeguard.” Married for years to the gorgeous Catherine Ross (Stepford Wives).
