Exploding Toads

Posted on April 27, 2005 09:19 PM by Joel Comm

I have just returned from my week-long Paris vacation and I have much to say. But I also need sleep and hope to get to this entry soon.

In the meantime, I ran across this story in a U.K. newspaper while enjoying my croissant yesterday morning.

Mystery of German exploding toads

As it would happen, toads in a region of Germany are inflating beyond their normal size and exploding. Kaboom. Toad guts everywhere. Weird.

The link above gives details, but it doesn't have the quote that appeared in the U.K. paper, in which milk would have shot from my nose were I drinking any at the time I first read it.

It said, and I quote...

"The toads could be committing suicide in order to protect the toad community as a whole. Attacks by crows have certainly diminished since the toads started to blow themselves up."

Read it again. Allow your mind to bathe in it. Enjoy a good laugh.

Suicidal exploding toads. Bwahahahaha!

    Glad you had a good visit in Paris. Just wondering if I should delete the "win my stuff" site from "my favorites"?

    Perhaps they were running away from the German tax man. It's probably the only sure way to escape them.
