Leaf it Alone
from We Have Concerns Hosted by Jeff Cannata/Anthony Carboni
The Australian Gympie-Gympie plant is the one of the most painfully poisonous in the world. People who have just rubbed up against it have gone mad with pain and tried to shoot off their own appendages with guns. So, like... Would you touch it? Maybe... Maybe we should touch it. Join us for a live video hangout on Thursday, January 29th at 5 PM PT! We can all just hang and talk and stuff. It'll be nice. Details: http://hangout.wehaveconcerns.com Hey!
