So, apparently this evil tree exists. :-/

There's some about it here, too.

Anyone up for tormenting our poor Sammy with it, or something similar? heh  Details and logistics and all that totally up to you. You can even just pretend this exists in America so you don't have to come up with a reason to get the boys to Australia. :-) I just think this sounds terribly awful but also fascinating.

I used to live in Cairns (Queensland, Australia) and if you go to a rainforest area called Crystal Cascades you'll find that tree and this sign


We got told of soldiers from over seas during the second WW that used it as toilet paper and REALLLLLY regretted it later :(

if you google 'crystal cascades stinging tree' and select images you'll get to see the awesome rainforest and waterfalls nearby

Yikes! Very bad choice of toilet paper! O.o Wow, that place is gorgeous, but I don't know I'd ever have the nerve to go there, haha.
