Magnolia Proves To Be Prophecy

Exploding toads? This is crazy, and does sound like something straight out of a sci-fi movie. I would like to actually know what's causing it. A virus is the only likely thing i could imagine. Unless microwaves maybe???
 
Hey, there weren't any exploding toads in Magnolia, now we're there... :?

They just fell out of the sky like heavy rain, IIRC.
 
Alec's right.

Anyway. If cows eat too much wet clover, the gases produced by digesting it in their respective stomachs make them go "pop".

Or rather "Blpopprrsstblllllbrbll". Hehah.
 
I saw a documentary about falling frogs and stuff like that a while ago. If I recall correctly I think that they proved it is scientifically possible.
Exploding toads, on the other hand :scratch:
 
Frog rains are caused by whirlwinds picking them up and then vanishing and releasing them from a very high place, IIRC.

Exploding toads are perfectly sensible as well, tho. Either they go pop due to hyperventilation or because of a chemical reaction that releases a lot of gas quickly (after all that's how bombs work).
 
reminds me of NOLF (no one lives forever)

using living bodies as bio-bombs
 
There are types of fungus that eat the insides of immuno-compromised hosts. Perhaps something in the water broke the amphibians immune system and a opportunistic infection has taken over. Presumably the bacteria is not in their digestive tract, but in the muscle and produces gas anaerobically, leading to the resultant -pop-!

Or maybe a bunch of Jebus's-in-training decided to play with firecrackers.
 
Great explanation Murdoch I find it completely viable.

Weird subject...

The exploding toads have also crossed the border north into Denmark, according to Danish Radio.

The toads crawl onto the land, swell up and explode in the middle of the night, the radio said.

Ehehehe... Reminds me of the days I used to blow up frogs with a straw.



I'm with Greenpeace now, so don't look at me like that. Also, you have no idea how much I can pleasure your anus using nothing but a straw and

Apparently the short article is saying hungry crows want to eat the livers of frogs. They peck open the abdomen for the liver, but otherwise leave the frog. This prevetns the frog from removing fluid from its system and it eventually swells up then explodes.

Why a crow would only eat a frogs liver without the rest of the body is very odd...

It is every citizen's duty to register unto IMDB and give "Magnolia" a big, nice fucko-one to kick it out of the top #250.

Other theories are...even that the toads are committing suicide to save others from overpopulation.

Hrmmppfff.

::Giggle::

What did scare me was that when I first read the article I thought it said cows, not crows...

Hold on, why did everybody miss CCR's deep-hearted confession?

Show some sympathy here people! Outting yourself ain't that easy, you know.*
