I think the british have more sensational tabloids than we do

 

[Jonathan White]

I wouldn't call the BBC a tabloid, looks like the story came from an Iranian newspaper

 

[Antonio_B]

That's pretty unbelievable!

I think it's gonna remain as a "never-explained mystery"...

 

[Malcolm R]

Sounds like a weird sex thing gone awry that they're trying to cover up with an even more ridiculous story.

 

[Bob Graz]

Yup, Sounds like a one night stand with Aquaman.

Dude, look at the picture. It's a frog!!

Hmmm, Dr. Aminifard. Drop an 'i', turn the 'n' upside-down to make it a 'u', move it and some other letters around and you get Dr. Iamfraud. Hmmm, I smell a conspiracy...

 

[Mark Shannon]

I think the picture they have there is jst a stock photo of a frog that they happen to have.

 

[Craig S]

is pretty misleading.

But what am I expecting from an article about a woman giving birth to a frog??

What's all the excitement about? This happens in France on a daily basis.

Just to defend my country's wonderful institution - the BBC news gathering service is hugely respected. This is simply an oddity they picked up in their routine monitoring of overseas media. A lot of news we have about some of the more remote countries in the world is as a result of the BBC's monitoring station at Caversham, England.

I remeber a story a couple of years ago of an Indian (i think) boy who Peed flies. Apparently the eggs somehow got up there and when the maggots grew into flies they flew out.

This is the best link I could find:

I hope frog baby can be inspired by the example set by Bat Boy. I'm sure he'll need the support when he enters school (you know how cruel kids can be...)

 

[Kyle McKnight]

OH MY GOD!! John, I don't know if you actually remember when that was in print or not, but I DO!!!!! I'm 24 now, but remember seeing that on store fronts. I would go weekly shopping with my mom, and after she piled in all the groceries, I'd try to weasel in any mag, starting wtihg gamepro etc...then wind up with one of the "register magazines." Bat Boy is something I can never forget, including those birds that "pooped" crap large enought to crush a car hahahhahahhaha. Thanks for the memories.

 

[John Nelson]

Bat Boy.

Guess saying sperm looking like tadpoles has some truth to it now.
