Christof,

If you can get an MPG of one of those guys popping - we could - dare I say - rule the world.

Maybe the low pressure affect of "micro" tornadoes causes it. Two of my younger siblings were born in Augsburg - but there were no exploding toads then (shucks)!

And thank you for the backfill. So the crows are killing the toads by implanting little boom-boom devices inside the toads - hmmmm:-)

"from worried US citizens" (ah the joys of citizenship in The Prozac Nation)

Only in the US will a shiney beer logo reflecting off the bumper of someones car [and] projected onto a wall or front porch be called a miracle. Some of those sightings even get National coverage!!

AJ is a good source - for example - when the Chineese put their first Astronaut in space - it was no where here (US) - lets see what was going on then - oh yeah the lead to the M Jackson and Robert Blake trials - and last but not least - Martha Stewart! AJ had the full story - thier science/tech section is enjoyable.

I wish they had more miracle aborition stories!:o)

Anyone one would agree that: if we are to survive we need facts - US media does not source facts - they sell stuff for the companies that own them (General Electric (Electric Boat Company), Lockheed, Microsoft(?)!

Keep us posted - I think there's money in them toads - better than water balloons anyway!:-)

>The current assumption is that crows killed the toads. Currently known is that it wasn't a virus or anything like that, even though some groups still believe that the nearby horse races are the culprit. The whole thing happend in the first week of April, but made it only recently onto CNN. Yesterday, the US Consul General asked our senate for more details, since there were lots of calls from worried US citizens this weekend. I weren't in the park at that time (it's on the other side of the city), so I can only repeat what our local press is writing.
