but it's good to have some light finally shed on Jamison's unnerving posts, eh...

Merry Christmas Herbert!

Wetman..you never heard of Licking a Toads back??? Its secretions are a Known drug.. Its true... I dont know which species of toads though.. I am sure there are many..

I've heard of that, but its just an "urban legend". you can't get high from licking a toads back.

you can get sick from licking a toad, but not high. but feel free to lick its back and get various diseases and toxins...

I think that goes for exotic rainforest toads.

Hehe did anyone see that Simpsons episode where Homer becomes a missionary? he sees a toad hop by so he picks it up and licks, and his eyes get dialated, its hilarious.

Yea.. I saw it. Gotta LOVE the simpsons! as homer walks away, he grabs another one and says " ah "

I've always found "The Simpsons" just full of these useful natural history tidbits. Always unerring in the ecological stuff too... like the "Bolivian Tree Lizard" episode...

You won't get sick from licking toads or frogs in a rainforest,you would be dead.Poison arrow frogs and some toads.
