Check this out....freaky

Wildlife experts in Britain are stunned by the apparent discovery of a frog with three croaking heads and six legs, Local 6 News reported Friday night.

The frog was reportedly found at a children's day nursery in the English village of Weston Super-Mare in Somerset, according to the report.

The staff at the Green Umbrella nursery first thought it was three frogs huddled together but after closer inspection they realized the frogs were joined together.

A wildlife biologist said a reason for the three-headed frog’s development could have been damage to the embryo, according to a report.

Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.

Was this the secret cam. You gave birth to a 3 head frog and are currently setting up a sitcom for it. Sneaky Sneaky.

It looks like a bad photoshop job, not something real.

no kidding... of course whenever it looks so unreal that it can't be real, it ends up being real. If that makes any sense at all

I'm surprised something liek that could live for that long. But I have seen two-headed frogs, so I guess one more wouldn't be too much of a problem.

Considering it was from a major news outlet and no one is calling it a hoax, I wasn't doubting it. I mean, if one day, Dan Rather had flipped and started showing pictures of a three headed frog and ABC and FOX were saying he's just lost it that's one thing but this isn't that.

It just really does look like a photoshop job.

With how good people are getting at Photoshop these days (just look at some of the Photoshop Phriday images from somethingawful dot com), just about everything looks like a photoshop job.

Damn, unless time has been very, very unkind to Pam Dawber I'd be much happier with this deal. I have always had a crush on this woman and I won't even talk about how I almost singlehandedly supported the kleenex industry when I saw "The girl, the gold watch, and everything."

Best I can tell from some Googling & imdb'ing, time has been gentle with the now 52 yr old Ms. Dawber. She's held up well and, at least as of pics circa 1999, she looks maybe 10 yrs younger than her actual age.

Comforting, somehow, ain't it?

Very nice to hear.

You know what makes it even more comforting??? According to google, TGTGWAE came out in '75. I was 12 and she was 24. That could never work. Now, though, I'm 40 and she's 52. It all of a sudden seems...workable.

Pam, call me, we'll talk.
