Lots of pics at the source that I'm too lazy to post.

Ah those crazy scientists again..what kind of shenanigans will they be up to next.

[lucky american]

I’m not sure how I feel about playing with tiny creatures and Mother nature. There are so many ways it could all go wrong.

[massgopguy]

and the Tadpole is supposed to have the cognizance of rear view vision?

[Bratch]

It appears Mary Shelley was a prophet.

[FroggyTheGremlim]

Sounds like something out of H.P. Lovecraft.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

That’s nothing. Democrats can put a mouth on their butt and lie out their ass.

[I want the USA back]

Let’s try this with people. New eyes on back of head. Teachers first - I always knew teachers had eyes on the back of their heads.

[LibWhacker]

Thank God I had already swallowed that swig of beer before I read that! :-)

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

LOL!!

Nothing yet from PETA?

[Mr. K]

if that’s all they ever saw their entire life then yes

If you were born with working eyes on your hands you would not know that it was not normal to have them there

[Kenton]

That’s nothing, my mother had eyes in the back of her head!

[Alaska Wolf]

my mother had eyes in the back of her head!

That seems to have been fairly common. I had teachers like that.

If you were born with working eyes on your hands you would not know that it was not normal to have them there.

Correction. You would see with your hands that other saw with their heads. You would prove the superiority of your ability by seeing around corners and yourself without mirrors. Certainly you would be unique among your peers.

The craziest part is someone taking money from working people to pay people to butcher tadpoles.

You would think the socialists could at least work to find effecient ways to waste money. But that would be work, and socialists don’t work.

[American in Israel]

It would all work grand, till you shook someones hand.

[Wurlitzer]

Watch out, the male contingency of the SSAD (same sex attraction disorder) group will be demanding this be included in their health care plan.

They could then see the point their entire world revolves around.

[EricT.]

This sounds like a government funded project.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

I would rather see experiments done on liberals than on baby frogs.
