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

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.

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
