TOADS! I assume toads like to eat them or else otherwise impeed the destruction. You might still want to set out the beer -- the toads will need to wash down the critters with something. [Source Frank Herbert, about a town in which EVERYONE consumes prodigious quantities of a naturally occuring LSD like fungus. -- yeah a questionable source, but if you have a box of TOADS in the attic ....]. ----GaryFostel----
