Global Warming Crisis:  Cold iguanas are dropping out the trees in Southern Florida.  Don’t fear, they’re not all dead.  Experts say that many are just in a suspended state of animation.  Elsewhere in the animal kingdom, the Center for Biological Diversity in Albuquerque, NM is raising awareness to the extinction crisis by offering free wildlife ringtones.  So far, 100,000 have been uploaded, but there is no report as of yet to how this is impacting the critical populations of any particular species.  Just the other day I was startled by the mating call of an Arctic Beluga Whale resounding from someone’s Motorola Razor.  I’m sure someone in that room pulled out a checkbook and made a contribution to preserve their habitat.  Not me.  I was looking for the dead Chihuahua.
