Of course all blacks don't think alike.  Neither do whites.  Proof?  This 
newsgroup.  That's why there's discussions and arguments and debates.  Also, 
I'm not condescending anyone.  Not once have I put any group of people down, 
unlike many posters on this and other newsgroups that blast anyone they don't 
share a lifestyle with.

Crude, yes.  Naive, perhaps.  Pointless, certainly.  Nonetheless, a faint
spark of the true nature of talk.bizarre manifests itself.  Could this
article, coming as it does from Singapore, where spitting and chewing
gum are illegal, herald a new dawn, a beginning of the end for the

Net.rumor has it that Bufo Alvarus (Colorado River toad) secretes DMT from
its skin.  It also secretes the deadly poison bufotenine, as does its
cousin, Bufo Marinus (Marine toad).  

DMT, when smoked, causes a trip which peaks in the first five minutes and
ends within an hour.  I suppose it is possible to smoke the skins and get
high, but...

1.  Make sure you have the right species.

2.  You will also be smoking bufotenine, which may be harmful.

Organization: Rice University
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 1992 19:33:32 GMT

Late last night I was cruising the streets of Houston -- far, far too many
cups of coffee will do that.

So I'm speeding along on the freeway, windows down, and there's nobody else 
on the road at the time (by itself bizarre, considering Houston), and then
suddenly this black Mopar hoves into view, running with its lights off.

I check my speedometer, and he's got to be doing over a hundred.  He's 
coming up behind me.  He's got tinted windows.  Eek.

The car pulls neatly alongside me and matches my speed -- probably about
eighty-five.  The passenger window rolls down, and I can see two VERY
fucked-up dudes in there, smoking something powerful.  "Hey," says the
passenger, by way of greeting.  I wave back, kind of skeptically I'll bet.

The passenger fumbles for something next to his seat.  Visions of making
the five o'clock Homicide News Report on Channel Thirteen swim through my
head, but I guess I was too paralyzed to do anything.  Anyway, I sweated
for nothing, because the guy comes up with a can of Foster's.  "Here,"
he grunts, and passes it across to me. 

At seventy-five mph, I took the beer.  The dudes waved and sped off into
the night, leaving my Honda in the dust.  Mopars can do that.

I stared at the beer, and realized that this was truly A Bizarre Event.
I felt a brief flush of shame -- have I, as a good U.S. citizen, been
doing enough in my life to make my world a stranger place?  Have I done
my duty, bizarre-wise?

Tonight, my friends, tonight.  I've already bought the twelve-pack.  I'm
ready for anything.

Tonight I go on Beer Patrol.

"Prove it," Tim said, handing the blond-haired man a powdered donut.

The man took it, tossing away the piece of wax paper Tim had used, and holding it with his bare fingers.  Not one speck of powder flaked off.  He took a large bite, all the way to the center hole.  Still no powder.  Not a single speck was on his face.  He ate the rest of the donut, and when he was done, his fingers and face were spotless.  Not even his tongue bore the slightest trace of white.

"You are a demigod," Tim said reverently, kneeling before him.

	what are you trying to say by this. an abortion attempt implies failure
which implies that no real harm was done. if the amnion was broken then most
likely the foetus would die, unless it was in the very late 2nd or 3rd terms.
foetus' at this point are often capable of living outside the womb with
extensive medical attention.

Amen to that! All I've heard is how he has improved educational
opportunities, set up summer coaching for children having a
hard time in high school, etc. Also, from what I hear, Arkansas
has one of the most difficult constitutions for a governor to
work with. Seems they wanted minimal government and rigged the
constitution in that way (Libertarians take note) :-)
