THESSALONIKI, Greece – Greek officials say a horde of frogs has forced the closure of a key northern highway for two hours.

Thessaloniki traffic police chief Giorgos Thanoglou says “millions” of the amphibians covered the tarmac Wednesday near the town of Langadas, some 12 miles east of Thessaloniki.

“There was a carpet of frogs,” he said.

Authorities closed the highway after three car drivers skidded off the road trying to dodge the frogs. No human injuries were reported.

Poor Greece…when it rains it pours…frogs.

As if they didn’t have enough problems.

I thought perhaps this was written by Popeye Doyle. Hey you Frogs, do you pick your feet in Thessaloniki?

I’m just glad that they spelled “horde” correctly.
