Three years ago, Hamburg, Germany found itself at the center of a bizarre and disgusting phenomenon. Over the space of a few months, thousands of ordinary toads inexplicably exploded. The explosions generally took place between 2 and 3 AM near a small pond that eventually became known as the "pool of death." Like a scene from a science fiction film, the toads would begin to swell, expanding to more than three times their normal size, and then . . . pop.
Scientists speculated that a fungus, pollutant or virus might be behind the explosions. But the truth was far more vile. If you dare, you can find out here. No snakes were involved, but it's still nature at its most disgusting.

Eww! That's gross! But it's not the grossest, the snake one was worse (no offense ;) How come the people who watched didn't notice the crows?
Where do you find this stuff? Grossthings.com? Garunteed to gross out your friends or your money back!
Aaw... poor little toads! I bet no one's even offering to kiss it and make it better!
i think people didn't notice crows because it happens during the night and crows are black. i thought crows were nice. but now i know they eat toad liver. ewwwww.
How cool would it be to see a toad explode?!
AUGH!!
Oh well. I was expecting slugs or worms or bugs...I can't stand them!

That is so cool! i wonder if they swallowed really small bombs or something. I would like to see one explode right in front of me!!! SO COOL!!!
Happy B-Day to ME!!!!!!!! :)
At a camp near my home once, a boy who was about fourteen at the time played a really evil prank. He put tiny bombs into frogs's and birds's mouths, and then had all of the little kids watch them explode.
Just for some more nice thoughts on St. Paddy's Day. :)
