Some Obscurish facts

1970 The swamps of Sungei Siput, Malaysia, were the site of a mammoth love-in involving over 10,000 turned-on frogs. For an entire week, commencing on the night of Nov. 7, the frogs copulated with bestial abandon, thrashing about in ecstasy and splitting the air with their orgiastic croaking. Midway through the revel, the frogs appeared to be the victims of mass insanity; their croaks turned to screeches, and many tore themselves and their mates apart. The first scientific observers on the scene were baffled by what they saw and figured it to be some sort of all-out frog war. In fact, the first rains of the November monsoon had just fallen, and the drought-stricken creatures had, en masse, gone berserk with glee and plunged headlong into group sex.
