OT: The pond of death

[ulthar]

Why just toads, and nothing else?

[Eirik]

I saw a movie once about cockroaches that set people on fire and they ultimately died off because they came from very deep within the earth and could not handle the low air pressure on the surface.  In the end their guts exploded outward.  

So, frogs from the center of the Earth?

[Ellie]

Ok a co worker told me that frogs can't pass gas. Maybe  something  in the pond is giving them gas and they can't expel it .

Well, the explanation comes a certain Frank Mutschmann. I looked him up on Google, and he is renowned specialist in diseases of amphibians. I can't imagine they hop about for long without their liver. On the other hand, those who die without a bang presumabley go unnoticed.

That being said, I still think it is a Pentagon experiment gone awry. Perhaps the CIA tried to develop a means against suicide bombers and some of the test animals escaped.

Either that or a leakage in an interdimensional portal.

"Either that or a leakage in an interdimensional portal."

AH! See! That's what I'm getting at...those damn inter-dimensional portals will do it to you every time!

[AlexB]

Could it be little toad-shaped blobs of antimatter?

[Wence]

Maybe these frogs have constipation. They can´t neither fart nor belch so they explode. poor toadies! schnief

[raj]

LOL.
Of course, that's the story they want you to believe.

[Master Blaster]

I'm thinking a fertile toad was confused and got it on with a hand granade.

[Flangepart]

TOAD SHRAPNEL!
But, now did the horney toad pull the grenades pin?...wait...don't go there....

[Texdar]

How do the crows get the toads to open their mouths so they can snatch their liver out?  Do they have surgeon crows that do a quick operation or maybe they stick their feathers in their mouths to get them to cough them up?  I would really like to know how it happens.

[AlexB]

According to the German expert, the crows pierce the side of the toads with great accuracy and yank out the liver. This doesn't seem to bother the toads too much, for some reason.

[Mr Hockstatter]

Maybe they ate pop rocks and then drank Coke.  That's what happened to Mikey you know.  From the cereal commercials.

[odinn7]

Dammit...didn't Mikey die from eating Wonder Bread?

[Rombles]

If only we could get the dreaded canetoads here in Australia to do that....
