h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

What a lot of happy, smiling toads, just whiling away the time eating flies! Just goes to show that time's fun when you're having flies.

Onstage over in this corner of the room is the comedy act of the Fantastic Flying Toad Brothers . Let's listen in on their standup routine.

"Ya know, it's hard for a toad to get around, right? First of all, we don't hop all that fast. second, we're roadkill all too often .
But the worst part is, they won't let us get driver5's licenses, because they want to discourage Toad Rage.

Watch out - they'll give you warts!

If they gave me warts while I was in space, would they be Star Warts?

Luke Skyhopper?

Also Darth Toader

Hop Solo

Princess Leapa

Jabba the Hutt can stay that way - he already looks like a toad.

What *is* the difference between a toad and a frog, anyway?

Frogs usually have smooth, moist skin, while toads have rough dry skin. Frogs are more apt to spend most of their time in or near bodies of water, while toads live on dry land. You will sometimes find frogs in gardens or greenhouses in the summer, though, especially in the humid summer months when there's enough moisture in the air to keep them from drying out. Toads, meanwhile, are perfectly capable of swimming if you put them in water.

In some of the tropical rainforests, some frog species can spend their entire lives outside of bodies of water, because it rains so much, or because the air is so damp.

So toads would do better in space, I guess.

Even the toads will have to admit that Hypatia is the candidate of choice - A5695211.

(This is campaign support, not plugging.)

Is there a pro-toad plank in her platform?

No. Pro-hamster, though!

I don't know if the toads would be impressed. Mammals and amphibians are way different.

Hmm...
