The Dr. is quoted as saying the frog looks like the woman: “The similarities are in appearance, the shape of the fingers and the size and shape of the tongue.” They should post a photo of the woman!!! ---

Good thing she’s married with two kids already; otherwise, it would add a whole set of dimensions to the “virgin birth” discussion… ---

**Rev Tim** beat me to it. Though I remember her saying it had been some dream about having a giant bunny sit in her lap. She was proven a fraud partly by the lungs from one of the rabbits(IIRC she used only dead rabbits) being placed in a bowl of water. The lungs floated, proving that thumper had been breathing air rather than amniotic fluid. Ah, The Musuem Of Hoaxes has a [page](http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/mary_toft.html) on it. These days there are plenty of women willing to stuff strange things up various orifices, but rather than claiming to give birth to animals they usually just film the act and start a website. ---

That raises a good point. What complications could arise if the doctors don’t retrieve the little cane and tophat? ---

Hmm, and just what was Michigan J doing in Iran to begin with? I submit, he is actually a CIA agent. Clearly he was in Iran to find and eliminate Al Qaida operatives. Some greater danger must have forced him to seek cover in that woman’s vagina. Who you ask? Yosemite Sam, of course. Though he now prefers the name Yussim Ibn Islam. Sam’s belief in an authoritarian patriarchy, combined with his love of heavy weaponry and low self esteem made him an easy target for recruitment by AQ. Experts have authenticated the following tape as being Sam’s voice- “Ah am the rootenest tootenest son of Islam east, west, north or south of Mecca. An’ Ah aim to drive them Yankee invaders out of our lands. (At this point some form of explosion is heard on the tape) Oooooh! Ah hates the freedom of thet rabbit.” ---

Is this woman’s name, by any chance, (insert Farsi equivalent of Susan di Lucci)? My first thought is, if I gave birth to a frog, I wouldn’t be telling anybody about it. My second thought was, if I was a woman living in a country with an oppressive theocratic government and I gave birth to a frog, I sure the hell wouldn’t be telling anybody about it. Just put it in a bucket out behind the shed and take it to the nearest pond and turn it loose as soon as I could slip away from my husband’s watchful eyes. Something tells me this will be turning up on Snopes with a red dot beside the story title, just beneath the Shrimp Lady. ---
