I wonder if these skinny cars are legal in the US? It looks like they can go 45 – 55 KPH, so about 35 MPH.  Not bad for a golf cart!

As I posted the other day, Toads have been exploding in Hamburg! Well, here is a possible answer:

... it appears that a bird pecks into the toad with its beak between the amphibian's chest and abdominal cavity, and the toad puffs itself up as a natural defense mechanism.

But, because the liver is missing and there's a hole in the toad's body, the blood vessels and lungs burst and the other organs ooze out ...

After looking at the guy’s picture, this information really does not surprise me.  And what is up with that pose and the outfit? He looks like he is either going on wrestlemania or trying to become a jedi.

Title: Exploding toads puzzle German scientists

BERLIN ? 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.

Both the pond's water and body parts of the toads have been tested, but scientists have been unable to find a bacteria or virus that would cause the toads to swell up and pop, said Janne Kloepper, of the Hamburg-based Institute for Hygiene and the Environment.

"It's absolutely strange," she said. "We have a really unique story here in Hamburg. This phenomenon really doesn't seem to have appeared anywhere before."

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."

Biologists have come up with several theories, but Kloepper said that most have been ruled out.

The pond's water quality is no better or worse than other bodies of water in Hamburg, the toads did not appear to have a disease, and a laboratory in Berlin has ruled out the possibility that it is a fungus that made its way from South America, she said.

She said that tests will continue. In the meantime, city residents have been warned to stay away from the pond.

Weird.... Send me an email if you have a link or any further info!

So this idiot and his girlfriend almost died while on he talked on his cell phone, but the funniest part was...

Consider the first two the yin and yang of links;

Maddox's site (aka "The Best Page in the Universe") is dripping with sarcasm, irony, and pure disdain for anything he doesn't like. Worth checking out once a month or so for the humor that lies behind his posts.

Cockeyed.com is a fun filled site that I find rather light-hearted and refreshing.  It seems like there is always something interesting here.

Last but not least is Zug.com.  Humor site, has some pretty funny stuff, I will put one of my favorites from here up later today!

Well, it looks like Businessweek is jumping on the bandwagon. They just released BlogSpotting.com, which seems to be it’s attempt to talk about business and blogs in a blog format.
