Hey, I've got that house plant, but have no clue what it's called. Do you know?

I don't know. Let's call it the Magnisent Boringplant.

I know what it is. It is a type of umbrella tree plant (scientific name "Schefflera actinophylla"). It originated from Australia. -Please don't quote me on spelling.

Thanks for the picture above, this picture helped to identify the name, and therefore found information about the toxicology of the plant.

For anyone who has small children, get rid of the plant! Very poisonous!

thanks again Tom

We have one 9 feet tall and approx. 4.5 feet wide. You say very toxic. Where can I find literature on the web supporting this notion?

NOT POISONOUS AT ALL;
Read excerpt below found here;
http://www.ext.nodak.edu/extnews/hortiscope/flowers/schfflra.htm

Q: I have a schefflera that my mother gave me. Now I have a rabbit that loves to eat it, and I want to make sure that it won't hurt it. Also I have birds (parkeets, cockatiels, conyer). Is it harmful to them? (E-mail reference, Kansas)

A: You have nothing to worry about. Schefflera has no poisonous record, so it shouldn't hurt your bunny or birds. That is, of course, assuming that no one has used an insecticide, either surface or systemic, on the plant recently.

yes, it is a money tree, but don't get your hopes up. I haven't even seen a penny so far.
