Sometimes nature can be so much more creative than mankind. Case in point...the Exploding Toads of Hamburg. Check out the link to the left, or copy and paste the following URL in your browser to read the story. (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7654561/?GT1=6428)
I find this story so incredibly fascinating on so many different levels, not least of which is: Why do crows prefer liver, and how do they know where to find it on a frog? I immediately thought of Prometheus and the large bird (sometimes a raven, sometimes a crow, sometimes an eagle) which feasted on the god's liver.
Exploding toads.
Liver-loving crows.

Nature is so cool.
