The Diatribe * net

I remember when I was in Sixth Grade, I learned about Spontaneous Combustion. It seemed like a cool concept, but my sixth grade Biology teach (Mrs. Giglio) taught us that this was impossible, and it’s a myth.

Well, Myth or not.. it seems to be happening to some toads in Germany. German scientists are baffled as to why 1,000 some toads have exploded in the past few weeks.

“It looks like a scene from a science-fiction movie,” Werner Schmolnik, the head of a local environment group, told the Hamburger Abendblatt daily. “The bloated animals suffer for several minutes before they finally die.”

Tragic, but true. And I thought this was something that only PT Anderson could come up with!
