I saw the frog story earlier, but it didn't have the earthquake tie-in. Will have to keep an eye on Greece for the next week!

I'd find it more interesting if it were not still spring.

Spring is in the air, and amphibians are on the move. After a long, cold winter, frogs, toads, newts and salamanders prepare themselves for the annual migration to mate and lay their eggs. Mother Nature has to have all the right ingredients to get them up and moving. Typically, a warm, rainy evening when clouds obscure the moon is enough to start a mad rush. The first evening the weather is right, the migration is on. they will even venture across patches of snow if all other conditions are right. These migrations involve hundreds and even thousands of individual animals. The ultimate goal is to reach a nearby pond or vernal pool, usually returning to the same body of water year after year.

Many of these migration routes cross roads. Country road or highway, these obstacles don't deter them. A large number of amphibians never make it to the other side, and thousands are killed by automobiles during their journey. But many crawl and hop safely to the other side and reach their destination. Once there, it is yet another mad dash to mate and lay eggs for the next generation.

Hopefully the filthy khazar PM from Minnesota will have the Parliament building land on his yamika.
