It seems the lake's toads have been violently and spontaneously combusting. Hundreds of toads have met a bizarre and sinister end in recent days. According to reports from animal welfare workers and veterinarians as many as a thousand of the amphibians have perished after their bodies swelled to bursting point and their entrails were propelled for up to a meter. Holy Cats of Egypt!

Anyone who knows me knows that I have a...well, okay, I have a PHOBIA about frogs/toads. Hate 'em and always have. So you can imagine the thought of exploding frogs freaks me out a bit! A few years ago, a co-worker left a toy frog on my desk as a joke--now that has turned into me having two shelves in my office FULL of frog related stuff that people keep giving me. As long as they are cute, fake looking frogs/toads, I'm okay. The realistic ones I can't take! And if anyone has ever seen the movie MAGNOLIA, you can imagine how disturbed I was after that one certain scene!!! :-)
