This picture gives me nightmares. This is a Gastric brooding frog. She swallows her eggs and then her body turns off her production of hydrochloric acid until the tadpoles leave her belly and birth out of her mouth. Scientists haven't been able to find the species since the 70's and believe it to be extinct. They are still searching in hopes that the study of the frog will lead to a cure for stomach problems, such as ulcers.
Don't you see people? Don't you see that they ate themselves extinct? AHHHH!! She couldn't turn it off. She tried, oh good lord how she tried. But she ate them, and they were good. So they grew hungry for the taste, the taste of their own flesh, and then they went mad, mad I tell you! Oh, the agony. Oh, the salty wart filled tears. You are forgiven froggies, go to the great big flashlight in the sky, that's it, go on.
Still though, it doesn't stop my nightmare where my mom is 40 feet tall and tying a napkin around her hungry neck, licking her lips as I realize I am the hot dog in the roll she is about to lift to her mouth.
Stupid Mother Nature, scaring me. I'm not out there, in the wild, sneaking up on her and messing with her head. But maybe I will. Maybe I'll put all my liquids into aerosol cans, stop recycling or vote only Republican, you never know. Two can play at this game.
Eyes in the back of my head, Lady.
