Makes me want to go to european discos and count the toads.

[Cane Toad Trapper]

"Repeated experiments have confirmed what cane toad trappers suspected - toads are attracted to a type of light commonly used in nightclubs."

I knew it all along!!!

[Betsy]

Would these be the same toads that people lick to get high??? (And I KNOW that's true, because it came from an unimpeachable source)

[KOW]

I must admit I'm relieved. When I first clicked on that link, I thought it would be that infernal singing, naked frog of ringtone fame.

[Noob]

I'll admit I didn't read the article word for (not four) word, but why would anyone want to trap these toads (other than perhaps the odd researcher, of course)?

[ArcticAl]

Why is my mind suddenly filled with images of a toad in a white suit on the dance floor with one arm over his head? Disco is back, make it go away!

[Betsy]

Arctic--Thanks for the image! I'll be *snork"ing (not snorkling) all day

A'al - NICE (tho a bit disturbing) imagery ...

Noob - the cane toads are epidemic in Australia, and they are really bothering the rest of the ecosystem ... sorta like the return of Disco would bother me ...

Related to Mister Toad are they? "Tally ho!"

[TCK]

you can get high from licking a toad?

*heads for basement to dig out old disco lights for operation "toad lick"*

Betsy - if you're makin' this up just to get me to lick a toad, revenge will be had

[PirateBoy]

TCK, it is much too early in the morning to be raising Cain (toads).

If you ingest too much of the poison (from the bumps on their head), I've heard you can croak.

TCK...When I said my source was unimpeachable, I referred, of course, to the Great and Powerful Dave. Can't remember which book, chapter, or verse, but the column contained the line, "Wanna do some TOAD?" But these were definitely extra-special (probably Colombian) toads. I wouldn't start licking random amphibia: wait til Dave's ambulance brings him back form Wolorado, and maybe he can convey the whole story to you via eye-blinks.

12 posts and no one's mentioned the Budweiser frogs?

[Sarah J]

Who traps cane toads?

[Minsc and Boo]

I was just thinking 14 posts and not one mention of the toad from Big Trouble.

Arthur Herk: Oh, my God! She's coming to get me!
Pat Greer: The dog, sir?
Arthur Herk: No, not that! Her!
Pat Greer: Who?
Arthur Herk: You know! Her!
Martha Stewart: Herk, Herk, Herk! Herk!
Arthur Herk: Oh, my God, she knows my name... She knows everything! She's come to take my soul!
Pat Greer: Mr. Herk, this is important...
Arthur Herk: Please don't let her take my soul!
Pat Greer: What the hell's he talking about?
Monica Romero: I don't know.
Alan Seitz: How close did he get to that toad?
Monica Romero: Like face first.
Alan Seitz: Beufotin. Hell of a hallucination. He's gone and he's not coming back.
Martha Stewart: growls
