Exploding Toads !
 

Has any of this gang heard of the exploding toad problem they are currently having in Germany ? Evidently large toads are leaving a lake in Germany, they start to leave the area, then suddenly swell up to three times their normal size, than explode! I picked this juicy bit of news up a day or so ago on Drudge, I guess the authorities have roped off the lake, and are looking into this phenomena with some scientists ! I just thought that it would be a great name for a rock band. Doug:cool:

Come on guys !, I am not making this up !!! Just think of the new interior options that may become available with the new "Cayman"

Ewww genuine toadskin leather

Maybe they're eating Alka-Seltzer tablets?

this thread is useless without pics....... :D

I second that :D :D

I am trying to find some pictures on the net, but no luck so far. If anyone finds some, please post. Doug

Pics, hell! I want V-I-D-E-O !

"Scientists are looking at a fungus that may have been spread by foreign race horses from a nearby track, Local 6 News reported Sunday."

I guess they are "Flatulent Exploding Toads" now thats a good name for a band !

Good Going, Gooch ! Somehow the pictures in my head looked a lot worse than the ones you found, Doug

I was watching a show on NGC about different animals in south america. They showed these really pretty toads and after they were finished talking about them, they proceeded to say that because of global warming these toads are now extinct.

HIEDI

I just bought the domain name. Flatulent Exploding Toads.com

actually I was kidding but it IS available. However, "explodingtoads.com is taken...damn!

Damn, So close, but yet so far away ! It sounded like a catchy name to me ! See you Sat Dave, Doug

yep you will. silver 70 and all. yes it was a catchy name for sure. i got my hands full with The Quivering Rhythm Hounds and Strange Brew. Enough is enough!

This is getting hard to believe ! Just heard Thursday morning that the exploding toad phenomena has spread to Denmark ! also, scientists have not discovered any viral infections of the toads ? We may be looking at Exploding Toads to the 2nd Power ! Lets just hold our breath for more news, (second thought, thats what caused the toads to explode in the first place !) Doug
