Prehistoric Animals charts the evolution of animal life, from the strange fossils found in the Ediacaran Hills of Australia to the amazingly well preserved sabre-tooth cats and mastodons of the La Brea Tarpits. This CD-ROM documents the evolutionary advances made by the major animal groups and shows that although the dinosaurs were an important part of Earth's history, they are just part of the exciting story of the prehistoric life on our planet (product description).

So, we made this surprisingly controversial CD-ROM about Marijuana and Marijuana smokers. It took over a year to make it, with contributions from well over 100 people. Pot smokers, artists, hemp activists, musicians, bullshit artists, stoned freaks, comedians, and idiot savants. Not surprisingly, it's about much more than just marijuana.
