Common Pest (of the gene pool)

2010 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

One of my friend's dads I know was studying Marine-Biology at University in Australia. One of his fellow peers decided to make an easy $20, not $200, not $2000, $20, by eating cane toad poison. Cane toads are a common pest in Australia and most people know that its poison is LETHAL! Fortunately (or unfortunately) he lived to tell the tale. But he still didn't get his $20. (Nomination for at-risk survivor)

$20 to eat poison? Sounds like a real winner in my book. Thanks!
