Critters

This freaked me out more than a little bit. Apparently, the cane toads that are pushing deeper into the back-of-beyond tend to be bigger than that ones that lag behind (and evolve longer legs, too, as I understand it). But the thought of a two-plus-pound toad is just disturbing. Our middle cat weighs in at about six.

This, on the other hand, would be really cool. I mean, you read the stories of dewy-eyed morons who try to swim (illegally and completely irresponsibly) with dolphins. If you're lucky, you read about them on the Darwin Awards website because the gits in question were too biologically illiterate to know the difference between dolphins and sharks when they jumped into the water and started waving bait-fish around. Donning a wetsuit and jumping into frigid waters to hang with the belugas, on the other fin, takes some up-front cajones.
