Hallucinogenic, apparently. Some have died; there was a caution issued this week.
How many toads have croaked so far?
Were the dead ones holding, or close to a picture of Timothy Leary?

That's an urban myth that's been around for a long time Prehensile Poster.

I believe it was originally an off-shoot of kissing a frog to reveal a prince in hiding.
The Amphibian Drag-Queen concept, not close enough except for the ones that are, or were.
You have an option Pooster, consult the directions before assembling.

Some "Toadies" required.
Queensland has so many venomous and toxic creatures that the deaths aren't surprising, except to the toads or Toadies...

Hey Phil, just think of the savings you made by not driving the car for the duration of the "flat time".
Must've been at least $100, thus offsetting the expense of a new spare tyre. :lol:

Haven't ordered mine yet. I'm neck deep in work right now ('tis a good thing though). I just have to sit on the sidelines for a while and watch as others open their packages. :cry:

You've probably seen this before but waiting for DP6 has reduced me to wondering about things like this.

When you look at this picture close up, you see Albert Einstein,   but if you stand about fifteen feet away, the picture will become Marilyn Monroe.
