Rough week for amphibians

No new entries in awhile... I don't have any good excuses. I'll work on that.

Weird news? Well last week the story of the exploding toads came out. By Thursday scientists had a guess as to what's causing this amphibious assplosion. If you said it's because crows are pecking out the toads' livers, the toads are puffing themselves up as a defense mechanism, and without a liver the blood vessals and lungs burst and the other organs ooze out the bird pecked hole, you win!

In other croaking related news, some endangered frogs were saved from becoming tastey aphrodisiac shakes in Peru. Yes, the locals think sucking down a liquified froggy will make someone horny. Haven't they heard of Viagra?



Unavailable for comment.

In personal news, I still haven't officially booked my vacation. The plan right now though Spain, particularly Ibiza, in June. The flights, tour, and hotels are pretty well picked out. It's just really farking expensive. Then in August I'm planning to do a weekend caving expedition at Wyandotte and Marengo Caves in southern Indiana.
