Toads Go Boom. . .
September 26, 2007
Ok, this BBC Story is scary and funny at the same time.
Thousands of the amphibians have died in recent days in a pond in Hamburg’s Altona district, with their bodies swelling to bursting point. The toads’ entrails are propelled for up to a metre (3.2ft), in scenes that have been likened to science fiction. Scientists are baffled. Possible explanations include a unknown virus or a fungus in the pond.
ADDENDUM:
Guess what, it’s a natural phenomenon. That’s what I get for posting about stuff from 2005.

What – no video?
Reminds me of the recycled 2003 closest pass of Mars that gets repeated every year now, except embellished with “disk visible the size of the moon”. Funny and scary, I agree.
