How sick is this:

Scotts Miracle-Gro products are known for zapping weeds dead. But it turns out they could be killing decidedly more attractive creatures — birds.
Scotts pled guilty this (past)Tuesday to charges that the company illegally put insecticides in its "Morning Song" and "Country Pride" brands of bird seed. That's right: The company knowingly coated products intended for birds to eat with substances toxic to birds and wildlife.

You know, Warph, you might have a lawsuit on your hands for unlawful death. Because I'm sure that that spider just made my poor old cousin Jim, fill his drawers with "fertilizer of the human kind". right at the same time he screamed like a girl and died on the spot!

Aint that the truth Teresa. Can't believe ol Jimmie is scared shitless of a itty bitty spider. I could understand if he was scared of a mouse. Hey, I seen them puppies with fangs like a saber tooth tiger before and they always go for the jugular. Damn, getting the heebie jeebies just thinking about them..
