As an amphibian myself, I found the little tidbit of news found here to be quite distressing. Researchers in California have discovered that even very low doses of a common weed killer can cause frogs to develop multiple sex organs — sometimes both male and female! http://www.wizards.com/community/images/boards/eek.gif http://www.wizards.com/community/ima...ns/dubious.gif I'm never going to visit my froggy cousins in L.A. again! It'll be like an amphibious crying game! http://www.highwaygames.com/forum/im...milies/eek.gif http://www.highwaygames.com/forum/im...milies/erm.gif http://www.highwaygames.com/forum/im...es/shudder.gif

Man I sure do pity you guys. I hope researchers in other parts of the world don't get any ideas.

That reminds me....

Same with fish that live near the run off of many chemical plants, oestrogen gets into the water and the fish all change sex.

Apparently the water in London is also rife with oestrogen which many attribute to infertility found in many men within the centre of London. The average glass of water in London has pased through 7 people already

I know, and if those people are taking the pill it can get transfered through the water because the filter they use doesn't necessarily neutralise it... worrying Oestrogen isn't the only chemical that gets through

@CM, LMAO!

@Kayless, but you are already a man-girl?

@Sleep, true, female hormones in the water supply are making men lose their hair, and English women hairier.

I go out with a Canadian.

Good plan

Ack! That's a slanderous lie I tells ya! I'm many things: Frogspawn, disco crazy, deranged... but I've never been a hermaphrodite (at least to the best of my knowledge: I think I would've noticed). http://boards.wizards.com/rpg/eek.gif http://boards.wizards.com/rpg/wink.gif Though now that I think about it, certain parts of the mutation aren't that bad. Some frogs just developed multiple sexual organs of the same gender. And what guy wouldn't want two... er, I'll stop talking now! http://boards.wizards.com/rpg/biggrin.gif
