Apparently they are having an exploding toad epidemic in Germany. Odd.

More than 1,000 toads have puffed up and exploded in a Hamburg pond in recent weeks, and scientists still have no explanation for what’s causing the combustion, an official said Wednesday.

…

The toads at a pond in the upscale neighborhood of Altona have been blowing up since the beginning of the month, filling up like balloons until their stomachs suddenly burst.

“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.”

The following is a real conversation that took place between real people. Only the names have been altered to protect the innocent.

[06:58] Methyl: toeknee
[06:59] Methyl: I had a dream, that you and I had to go to boot camp….but it was in some asian country where there was already fighting….it was dirty, hot..and everyone was seperated into groups (skinheads, chinese, buff sexy guys, etc…)
[06:59] Methyl: while there, I found a huge Sword…and I called it Justice….
[06:59] Methyl: I ran around smacking people with it’s blunt side….for Justice
[06:59] Methyl: you followed me around, laughing
[06:59] Methyl: it was very odd
[06:59] Tony: was I naked?
[06:59] Methyl: no

[07:00] Tony: If you start having naked dreams of me, I quit
[07:00] Methyl: we ran around this huge pond..where all the groups sat….and I was smacking people in each group….with Justice
[07:00] Methyl: the sword was huge..but very light
[07:00] Methyl: we were both dressed, fully
[07:00] Tony: It was like Duck, Duck, Goose?
[07:00] Methyl: there were absolutely no chicks in this dream at all…which sucked
[07:01] Methyl: I dont’ know what that is
[07:01] Methyl: it was like…if this is a bad person….i smack you
[07:01] Methyl: and Justice is served

[07:04] Methyl: if I had the energy..I’d blog that dream…it’s kind of funny….but I’m pretty tired after wielding Justice all night long.

[Note: it is believed that Methyl may have nicknamed his penis Justice]

The four guys have stumbled across a site that has our sides busting and tears streaming down our faces in such steady gushes that there is extreme danger we may soon become severely dehydrated.

What is this gut busting link you may wonder?

Well, if you’ve been paying attention to this site at all. You may have noticed a slight theme when it comes to our programming posts.

Best Practices. Learn them. Live them. Love them.

This site we found contains code snippet from programmers who basically had a motto entirely opposite of that, in fact it’s not clear if they even knew a thing such as a best practice existed. The site contains those infamous little code snippets we’ve all had the pleasure of coming across when debugging someone else’s code (because of course none of us have EVER written sloppy code before) where you throw your hands up in the air and go WTF?
