Requirements:
• Mac OS X 10.4 or later (10.4.3 required for shader effects)
• OpenGL compatible video card
MacDailyNews Note: Tested on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. It works as advertised.

I used this last year for Halloween by putting my PB on my porch and giving out candy to the kiddies.
I’ll be doing it again this year – Fairmount and Corinthian.

Thanks for posting, MDN.

Don’t mess up your computer. If you want the same effect, get your dog to crap in a small shoebox.
@Mauritius Kestrel,
Address is right there in my post. And, yes, I bring it in afterwards.
Also, moving on from the hardcore chemical/medical terminology, huh?
I feel like a rare bird some times.
