Radioactive cat mistaken for bomb

A US driver was stopped on suspicion of being a terrorist after his radioactive cat was mistaken for a bomb.

Anti-terror cops using specialist radiation detectors on motorway traffic flagged down the man.

But a search of his car revealed only his cat who had undergone radiotherapy for cancer three days earlier.

Deputy chief border agent Joe Giuliano revealed details of the incident to a meeting of San Juan Islanders, reports the Seattle Times.

"Vehicle goes by at 70mph," he said. "Agent is in the median, a good 80 feet away from the traffic. Signal went off and identified an isotope."

The agent raced after the car, pulling it over not far from the monitoring spot. The agent questioned the driver, then searched the car.

"Turned out to be a cat with cancer that had undergone a radiological treatment three days earlier," Giuliano said.

"That's the type of technology we have that's going on in the background. You don't see it. If I hadn't told you about it, you'd never know it was there."

Sorry Carrie, when I read your post, I was almost asleep already... grin Welcome to the new forum, I hope it ends up better than the previous one! I think most of us are well, thanks for asking! The most well is probably Mea Culpa, because he has been liberated from the weight of this life and set free into the next. wink How about you? Are you alright? smile

A cane toad named "Spew"...

From Australia's "Northern Territory News":

A CANE toad has survived after being eaten by a dog and spending 40 minutes in the animal's stomach.

The super toad was eventually vomited up by the dog and hopped away shaken but seemingly unharmed. The dog also lived to bark another day -- proving she's as tough as her owner, Darwin rugby league star Jackson Crews.
...
Mr Crews, 27, said he couldn't believe both dog and toad survived the episode.

The toad is being kept at the animal hospital where staff have named it Spew.

Scientists believe hundreds of Territory dogs and cats have fallen victim to the cane toad's deadly toxins. The toads release a poison when under stress and can kill a large dog within minutes.

Mr Crews said it was probably Bella's greedy nature that had saved her life.

"She swallowed it whole -- that's probably why she survived,'' Mr Crews said.

Great web comic with references to make any gamer lol.

My personal favorite references are to the band KISS, and a type of flying mount named 'orly'
