Date rape stylee

Scientists found Wednesday that millions of children's toys contain a date rape drug. Two children in the U.S. and three in Australia were hospitalized after swallowing the beads; the two American children went into nonresponsive comas.

Aqua Dots, a highly popular holiday toy distributed by Toronto-based Spin Master Toys, is the American version of the toys; in Australia, they're called Bindeez. They are beads made into art projects that when sprayed with water, they stick together.

But children ingesting the beads with low doses of GHB can experience "euphoria, increased enjoyment of movement and music, increased libido, increased sociability and intoxication." Trippy, man.
