When I was a kid, we had the most brutal Siamese cat that ever lived. Total sweety 80% of the time, but she'd somehow manage to drag in half-dead rabbits bigger than she was. (And bunnies scream!)

Am amused by the epoxied turtle. Attempts to make "shell"ack jokes ruined by my inability to spell that in a sense-making manner *g*

Also, I was in Wisconsin with my wife a few years back, and they sell horney toads at exotic pets stores for $1,500+ The midwest is bizarre.
