#14 I'm with BrerRabbitt.

In the place I grew up, scientists would have found plenty of "splodey toads", if they had bothered to look.

But scientists back in those days probably had more important things to muse over.

I guess nowadays the grant money market is sufficiently large that they can carve out their own niche.

Such as, ohfrinstance, "Research into the effect of alien horse fungi on amphibian body size as a function of time".

#17 Don't worry the German mainstream media will some how find that it's all the evil Amis fault.

#18 "jewism"? Clearly my vocabulary is not as large as I'd believed.
