Devil Toad! | meanlouise

I was going to write something thoughtful about satire and race and social class, but then I saw this headline: ” ‘Devil Toad’ Dined on Dinos” and every other thought in my brain filed out and lined up on the curb.

A frog the size of a bowling ball, with heavy armor and teeth, lived among dinosaurs millions of years ago — intimidating enough that scientists who unearthed its fossils dubbed the beast [tag]Beelzebufo[/tag], or Devil Toad.

[read the rest of the story about the prehistoric 10 pound toad!]

It’s the [tag]Devil Toad[/tag], people! [tag]The SciFi Channel[/tag] is probably already in production on a Saturday craptacular about this. (We can only hope).

Oh my god, who doesn’t love saying Devil Toad? Beelzebufo. It’s fantastic!

Devil Toad.
