Yeah, that's right. Frogs around the globe are disappearing and falling prey to a mysterious, and nearly-incurable fungus.
If you want, I can direct you to a locale in which you can watch the special.

Does it affect cane toads to???
We've just had our anual cane toad slaughter up north. They have proceded across the country & are almost invading WA now.

Jet,
I have seen and read about the plight of the frogs and those kinds of changes always concern me since they end up being something "not good" for the world, even humans. Ishmal, are those cane toads edible, I mean by humans? |

so apparently the frog-killing fungus' proliferation may be climate related El Niño and a pathogen, not global warming, killed Costa Rican toad ...the "not global warming" is not my spin on it, I believe the jury's still out on that one as far as it relates to the frog demise.
It takes 2 to leap frog ...or more |

I'm not sure what oogling a nice pair has to do with winning, but so long as you're distracted by the mundane, I'll continue onwards to my victory parade.

There's something about Natalie Portman that has me confused...
2 things: First, people think she is the most beautiful actress alive today, and as recently as last year, has been voted upon by some unknown critics' association or the masses as being "#1 most gorgeous celeb". Second, I liked her agreeable face when she was younger, and she is cute, but I am not really attracted to her. If anything, I try to avoid her whenever possible, and I, myself, classify that as 'weird', because I don't know why I do it.

both of you guys can let me do all the worrying about that
She's very cute. I would even say beautiful, though not "the mostest" in my universe. My only squirminess about her is because of my memories of her when she was very young and cute and very not appropriate to think about her like I sometimes do now. But that's in the past and this is where we are now, Natalie. |

Does it sound as though I'm pouting too much? I think this is how-so, and it really irks me that I've realized this.
Say it isn't so. I'm not a feelings-sharer nancy; I'm a thought-instigater envisionary.
