#1 There was an Earthquake in Virginia? I didn't hear about THAT one. And it's erupting Volcanoes that come next, Steve.

#3 If we get flying toads I'm gonna have to retrain my goldie. Figuring out Quail took him 3 years.. flying todays could very well end his already spotty hunting career.

#4 Hmmmm - and all this time, I thought it was flying monkeys that kidnapped Dorothy.

Nicaragua, just north of Costa Rica, has dozens of volcanos, about half of which are still active. Costa Rica has a couple of active volcanos. There are no active volcanos in Panama - yet.

My daughter found an article online some time ago about monkeys that glowed in the dark. I'm sure that, if we can make monkeys glow, we can certainly find a way to give them wings. I'm also sure that nothing would "upset" the black turbans quite like monkey droppings on their turbans.

#5 OP -- either flying dogs or flying pigs would be more insulting.

Flying pigs would, however, result in a great many unlikely things being forced to occur, but would be a great boon to their natural homebase, Cincinnati.

#6 Actually, oddly enough, there are several species of frogs that can glide. At least two rain forest species have adapted to living in treetops, and have evolved to the point where the webbing between their toes is now large enough to serve them as mini-wings, allowing them to glide for truly impressive distances.

Nature's not just a bitch, she's a practical joker, too. Heh!
