- NBCLocal, on 06/24/2009, -0/+47Dugg for this line... "In one incident, a 55-year-old man who was caught in a tadpole downpour..." When will a write ever get to use that again?

- graemee, on 06/11/2009, -0/+6Godzilla Bukkake on Nagasaki
Hint those aren't tadpoles. - CasinoJack, on 06/10/2009, -1/+7Oh yeah? Well, it's snowing elk in Norway.
- shig, on 06/10/2009, -0/+6Not quite a biblical plague.
- drivingalone, on 06/10/2009, -1/+7Pics or it didn't happen.
- PimpSanders, on 06/11/2009, -0/+5Had to see if someone had read that. Then, had to create an account to comment on it. Murakami ***** rocks.
- asgardshill, on 06/11/2009, -0/+5Japan: Is There Anything You Can't Do?
- schwab002, on 06/11/2009, -0/+4I'm sure he's nearby rubbing his head and holding an umbrella.
Brilliant book. - TonyTheTerrible, on 06/11/2009, -0/+4It begins.
- OhROFL, on 06/11/2009, -1/+5The prequel to Magnolia, actually.
- SONYDVDR, on 06/11/2009, -1/+4SEGA SEAMEN!
- idmfx, on 06/11/2009, -0/+3Premature-Magnolia style.
- tmacfan123, on 06/11/2009, -0/+3i lol'd...and almost dropped my laptop...thank you good sir...
- WilliamAdama, on 06/11/2009, -1/+4Come on people, pics or it didn't happen. Don't tease us like this bizarre and interesting phenomenon without giving us even a small pic.
- KayinAngel, on 06/11/2009, -1/+4apparently, God requires some of that bailout money as well.
- 4rp4n3t, on 06/11/2009, -0/+3Tadpoles...frogs...French...oh, never mind Digg.
- iguanapunk, on 06/11/2009, -1/+3This is similar to the time a man rained his tadpoles over my face
- TommyRubbish, on 06/11/2009, -0/+2Eel is one of Nakata's favorites.
- chugokuotaku, on 06/11/2009, -0/+2man... that's the first thing I thought of!
Nakata definitely had a hand in this one... lol - mikeinto, on 06/11/2009, -0/+2I miss Arthur C Clarke's Mysterious World when I read stories like this.
- Rhythmix, on 06/11/2009, -1/+3In Japan? Zeus must love Japanese porn.
- mhearne, on 06/11/2009, -0/+2It might explain how fish and frogs get to landlocked lakes and so on. I know that aquatic life is easily transported by floods, but I hadn´t thought about a typhoon or tornado picking up a river full and depositing them in far distant places.
I do wonder why these tadpoles in Japan were all found dead. Maybe they should have flown first-class. - vacax, on 06/11/2009, -0/+2But it did happen.
- inactive, on 06/11/2009, -1/+3Their lucky, it still rains acid rain in Nagasaki.
- chrismgtis, on 06/11/2009, -0/+2Another scientific explanation for raining animals relates to birds carrying the small creatures before dropping them as they fly overland.
...wow... that is one hell of a scientific explanation....pause... not - noahgelman, on 06/11/2009, -0/+1Who doesn't?
- fsufanizzle, on 06/11/2009, -0/+1No pictures...***** Yeah!
- Archer007, on 06/11/2009, -0/+14chan: now trolling IRL.
- slicksoul999, on 06/10/2009, -1/+2How come I've never heard of it raining animals, except cats and dogs, which doesn't even make since, well until now.
- shig, on 06/12/2009, -0/+1They also could have froze or drowned (tadpoles have gills, no lungs), or a combination of the two.
- dok333, on 06/11/2009, -0/+1when I was young I lived in Florida, Tampa Bay-Clearwater area, and one day it actually rained frogs, my friends normally just give me a crazy look when I tell them about it, but it actually happened--inb4 "cool story, bro"
- inactive, on 06/11/2009, -0/+1This kind of thing has happened for centuries. Check out books by Charles Forte like "Book of the Damned".
I would like to think of it as the first of 7 plagues from God for all the illegal whaling the Japanese are doing, but that is too much to hope for. - mindware, on 06/17/2009, -0/+1Do not be alarmed, we are aware of this glitch. The God process is loading the fish and tadpoles files in the wrong x,y coordinates. We already have a potential patch running on the test server. Should be going live soon.
- TokyoGodfather, on 06/12/2009, -0/+1hehe. your sentence makes that all the more sweet.
- deacon1729, on 06/12/2009, -0/+1I remember it raining baby frogs all the time when I lived in Hollywood, FL. I haven't seen that since moving to Orlando, though.
- otbeverly, on 06/11/2009, -1/+2Amy Mann just sold 10 new records in the last 60 minutes, double what she sold all of last year.
- HamNCheese, on 06/11/2009, -0/+1Cue the Locusts....
