What you say might be correct - I do not know, but I do know that what I said is correct. Believe me, the cane toad has been well researched here because it is such a threat to our wildlife, and has *killed* so much of it. There are whole areas of Queensland where some native animals (I am including reptiles and birds), have been wiped out. There is nothing "temporary" about it if the animal consumes enough of the poison.

I read an article where the author theorized Mary gave datura to Jesus on the cross, in order to fool the Romans.

I don't think a toad is really worthy of the name Toadzilla until it is the height of a respectable office building, is attracted to pollution, and wreaks havoc wherever it goes. Only one third of the way there so far.

The only good toad is a squashed toad. We have a national passtime in Qld. Late on summer evenings when the air cools down but the road retains it's heat, toads like sitting on it. Naturally, they make excellent targets for the wheels of cars. Often times, two cars travelling to the same destination will compete to see who can squash the most toads en route.

We also use cricket bats and wickets. Golf clubs and metal stakes to kill them. They also make good footballs except you need to make sure you have shoes on cause they feel very icky to the touch.

Toads kill animals. That's a fact here in Qld. It's why so many people spend so much time killing the mongrels during summer.

C'mon, anything that can kill you, deserves at least 2/3.
