We see them in books, on TV and our pet stores are full of 'em. But that doesn't mean that reptiles can't be endangered. There are Snakes, lizards, turtles and crocodiles around the world facing the possibility of extinction due to habitat loss, pollution and human greed. Take a look at these fierce but fragile endangered reptiles that Kidzworld wants to bring to your attention.

Ancient Medicinal Marijuana the MMJ USA Series Episode 1.
Tangible evidence that Medicinal Marijuana was in use in the middle east over 1600 years ago was discovered in 1993 when Israeli scientist scraped some residue from the skeletal remains of an ancient 14 yr old girl who had died in childbirth. It seems her nurses gave her this ancient remedy to aid with the contractions as well as mitigate the pain. The finger pointers (i am sure) have already extended their digits to accuse the herb of possibly contributing to the death of the underage labor laden maiden, or at least suggest that is was a antiquated idiots attempt at medicine. Clearly the patient is dead. Well, the truth in the matter is the poor girl died from Narrow Tunnel Syndrome (or NTS) the primary symptom being a pelvis too small to deliver a child naturally. So perhaps it might be more appropriate to point the finger at the Republicans of Antiquity for refusing to allow the distribution of sheep’sintestine at the local Bedouin high school or the philandering ways of that one rich kid who drove a really cool camel with racing stripes and 3 humps. My point is that way back in the days before hormone laced Vitamin D milk a 14 yr female often didn’t yet have those child baring hips and c-sections in the middle of the desert more often then not go awry.

Now a confession: The National Police Headquarters in Israel and the Israel Antiquities Authority forensic division confessed knowledge of marijuana as a medicine in use prior to 1,600 B.C. in Egyptian, Assyrian, Greek and Roman records to include the medicinal journals of the day.

My confession: there is no such thing as Narrow Tunnel Syndrome (or NTS). I took my journalistic liberties to MAKE IT UP!! So, please don’t try to Google it. Here is to Freedom of Speech and the integrity of journalism.

Remorse

A hunter shot at a flock of geese 
That flew within his reach. 
Two were stopped in their rapid flight 
And fell on the sandy beach.

The male bird lay at the water's edge 
And just before he died 
He faintly called to his wounded mate 
And she dragged herself to his side.

She bent her head and crooned to him 
In a way distressed and wild 
Caressing her one and only mate 
As a Mother would a child.

Then covering him with her broken wing 
And gasping with failing breath 
She laid her head against his breast, 
A feeble honk ... then death.

This story is true, though crudely told. 
I was the man in the case. 
I stood knee deep in the drizzle and cold 
And the hot tears burned my face.

I buried the birds in the sand where they lay, 
Wrapped in my hunting coat, 
And I threw my gun and belt in the Bay 
When I crossed in the open boat.

Hunters will call me a right poor sport 
And scoff at the thing I did; 
But that day something broke in my heart, 
And shoot again? God forbid!
