More than 1,000 toads have puffed up and exploded in a Hamburg pond in recent weeks, and German scientists still have no explanation for what's causing the combustion, an official said.

Very strange!

danish toads are exploding too ...

they do so between 2 and 3am, and the danes think it might be due to an increase in ozone radiation.

me, i think cancerman has something to do with it.

OK, wait for it. The press release from Condoleeza accusing Canada of harbouring the bombers. And a follow-up from Hillary Clinton, on Canada being soft on toadyism. Oh wait, we are.

Perhaps exploding toads can be explained by intelligent design?

God setting up the fireworks for The Rapture? Or maybe just weeding out the duds for the Plagues?

Or at the very least, wear eye protection when approaching the toads.

it could be something that germany and denmark have in common.

- wind turbines (are spanish toads next?)
- past winners of european footie championship (watch all grecian toads)
- the baltic sea (estonian toads, beware!)

actually, i'm going to cut the humour, if the danes are right, the toads could be the canary in the mine.
