I still think it's aliens.

I, for one, welcome our alien crow overlords.

For some odd reason, this really cracks me up.

farking awesome.

I'm glad I'm not behind any exploding toads.

Poor Kremit! BigBird wanted for questioning?

Pics? We needs videos!

Bloated Toad....Is that a band?

"Other theories have been that horses on a nearby track might have infected the amphibians with a virus, or even that the toads are committing suicide to save others from overpopulation."

Yeah... that's one hell of a theory you got there...

I don't wanna say I toad you so.......

I will stay glued to the TV set for any new developments in this intriguing story!

I thought I had this mystery solved already.

"Hungry crows are pecking out their livers."
What does Prometheus have to say about this?

I'm glad I'm not behind any exploding toads.

Or in front of them, or beside them.

Crows only eat the liver? What about the rest of the (now open) toad?

Maybe it was that darn ivory-billed woodpecker.

If only this had happened back when Jesus and God were coauthoring the Bible. They would've taken credit for that one immediately to try to prove some point about everyone sinning and that God is furious.

Luke 15:23
"And God was unhappy that the Gamoranites, Sodomites, and Halogenlites were coveting each other's asses, so He exploded some toads and showed them whose boss."

"toads are committing suicide to save others from overpopulation"????

Sure, they're just exploding themselves and thinking, "I'm doing this for you, son" BOOM!

Ew, frog guts.

No. They were only trying to drink their sweet sweet eyes juices..

The last things doing this much exploding in Jutland were British battlecruisers.

Even though, thats one hell of a way to commit suicide.

*sigh* I dont want to live anymore!

/self destruct

Could be the nasty environment, maybe, perhaps.
No tag for article, can't read it, don't know what the heck is going on.

Your toad asplode!



Wanted for questioning.

Someone setup a webcam already!

Local environmental workers in Hamburg have described it as a scene out of a horror or science fiction movie, with the bloated frogs agonizing and twitching for several minutes, inflating like balloons before they suddenly burst.

lemme be the first to say eeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Yes, but are they enjoying them with farva beans and a nice chianti?

It's a PR stunt designed to explain why Angel is being brought out for X-Men 3.

Angel will ask Toad, "Do you know what happens when a giant bird-like person flies at a frog near a lake? hmmm? The same thing that happens when birds fly at frogs near lakes, they essplode."

-Chilton

Did someone say Alka-Seltzer?

Maybe the toads were eating Pop Rocks and Coke?

"Lick the toad! Lick the toad!"

Actually, we used to catch big toads when I was a kid, and put lit cigars in their mouths. Inhale... Inhale... INHALE... POP!!!! Sort of a different slant on the Alka-Seltzer/Seagull trick.

More fun with Alka-Seltzer: I had an art teacher in high school, who was a neurotic psycho that, by comparison, would have made Idi Ahmin look like a hell of a nice guy. He was also a houseplant freak, and his classroom looked like the Amazon Rain Forest. I took a box of Alka-Selzer and put a wafer, barely buried, into each potting urn. As he was walking around the room and watering his precious houseplants, they began to foam. I started screaming, "RUN!! THEY'VE GOT RABIES!!!"

Good times...

This sounds like bullcrap to me. Nobody mentioned seeing birds attacking toads in the 1000s, and why would a crow take the liver and leave the rest of the toad? Crows eat some pretty nasty things.

The Exploding German Toads would be a great name for a rock band.

"Other theories have been that horses on a nearby track might have infected the amphibians with a virus, or even that the toads are committing suicide to save others from overpopulation."

Yeah... that's one hell of a theory you got there...

i know it sounds absurd but there IS a phenomenon called "crowding effect", that causes (mostly higher developed species) to commit suicide/cannibalism to prevent overpopulation.
though it somehow conflicts with the basic principles of evolution, i could swear i feel a similar rudiment instinct while sitting in a overcrowded subway.

All hail HypnoExploadingToad!

once, back on a college spring break trip, we caught this kid out on the beach throwing alka-seltzer to seagulls. so we beat the farking shiat out of him. it was a riot.

As a respected member of the amphibean community I'm apalled and outraged at these slanderous remarks. Oh my belly. Ugh
