Poison dart frogs makes one go f(r)oggy


Hello World

This is what i call today's interessting fact; an interessting and (often unnecessary) fact is presented:

Did you know that; The poison dart frog produces such a strong poison that if one streeks it's back with a twig and then dips the twig into a litre of water, one produces such an intoxicating substance that it would be classified, (if it isn't allready) as a narcotic. Is this how South-American indians celebrates their weekend, mayhap?

(The poison which the frogs are covered in, is not one which they manufacture themselves: The poison is pruduced thus; The frog eats poisonous ants and beetles and their venom is exuded through the skin (exactly as for us human beeings, when we digest a poisonous substance (that can be anthing from alcohol to cocaine), were also sweating it, and that's what the frog is doing as well, it's sweating poison (only it's poison is rather more potent then ours).
