[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle\_east/3844441.stm](http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3844441.stm) These people must be nuts. 😛 ---

Guess the condom that broke must have been “ribbit for her pleasure.” ---

couldn’t make head nor tails of th’science’ behind the article. Even assuming the thing managaed to grow from a tadpole to a frog in such a non-standard environment, which is a big assumption in my book, why in the name of Og would it pick up human DNA and have human like fingers and tongue? More suitable to [forteantimes.com](http://forteantimes.com) than the BBC methinks ---

In order to find your Prince, you have to kiss a lotta frogs. I think she should have limited it to kissing. ---

Based on The Tim’s [Nazi Supermen Are Our Superiors](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=263401) thread title from this forum last week, I thought for sure the OP for this story would’ve been something like _Islamic Terrorist Caucphibians Pose New Threat_ Gives the term frogman a whole new meaning. I don’t care if it’s a boy or girl. As long as it’s healthy, with 10 fingers and 1 toad. From the story: > [@](#): > > It has been speculated that the woman…unknowingly picked up the larva while she was swimming in a dirty pool. Here in the States, we call it a swamp. > [@](#): > > “The similarities are in appearance, the shape of the fingers and the size and shape of the tongue.” That’s good, flies are a whole lot cheaper than Gerber baby food. ---

On second thoughts, if i’d been caught…amusing…myself with an amphibian, then I too would claim I didn’t know how it got in there. I’d draw the line at paying college tuition though 😃 ---

There was that woman a few hundred years ago who claimed to have raped by a giant man-rabbit and then gave birth to rabbits. She even popped one out in front of the King’s physician, to his astonishement. It was discovered later she had inserted the baby rabbits into her vagina in advance… ---
