Shrieking frogs have mayor hopping mad

http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/science/01/19/invasive.frogs.ap/index.html

A tiny frog with a huge shriek has invaded the Big Island and won't shut up.

Mayor Harry Kim is looking for $2 million to begin controlling the spread of the nocturnal coqui frog, a beloved native in Puerto Rico but considered an annoying pest in Hawaii since hitching a ride over in shipments of tropical plants around 1990.

The frogs have been mating easily -- and shattering quiet island nights -- ever since.

fucking frogs--jeesh!
