How about someone going into these caves with rubber gloves, and scarfing up a few dozens of these little guys then slipping them to one of our military folks that would be in the Saddam trial room. The next time either Saddam or his half ass brother start shooting their big mouths off, the military guy can toss these little guys into the docket cage.
We will find out how effective their poison is and at the same time do all mankind a favor.

The area, known as the Venezuelan Guayana, is one of the most biologically rich, geologically ancient and unspoiled parts of the world.yeah...yeah...yeah...whatever. But did they find any gold? or is there something we can exploit? :)

They should try and protect this area before it becomes an amusement park for rich tourist. I'm too late, aren't I?
To: GreenFreeper
What a cool article!
That little frog reminds me of the ones we had in Panama. Little things were gold and poisonous (so we were told) and had this "Gooo" sound at night.

This discovery, not widely reported, was detailed in the Jan. 17 issue of the journal Zootaxa. Darn!....I just canceled my subscription to Zootaxa in December!
To: GreenFreeper
That's gorgeous. I'm surpised someone isn't already living in there.

Why that could be the cave where Godzilla lives!!
These fools may have mistakenly awaken the beast! Which will rampage downtown Caracas and threaten Hugo Cha... well maybe not a total loss.
