The Toaster had it in for toads. There was just something about them that rankled.

Blades spinning in agitation, The Blender fixed its gaze on the trailing power cord of The Toaster.

He winced when the moth that flew into the toaster slot found a firey death on the heating element. The toaster's menacing laugh was carried on the wind.

Faster than a movement spawned by 7-grain high fiber toast, the toaster grabbed the frog, placed him in the blender and proceeded to wipe out the hard drives of all the Nanowrimo participants....

But the frog was no ordinary frog, but rather a highly evolved being from another plane of existence vacationing on our humble planet. Having assumed the form of a toad slushie and energized by the magnetic fields of the hard drives, he dove into the toaster and shorted its coils.

Yeah I know. And they tend to copy-paste press releases without understanding stuff. Viva "journalism".

I just have it out for science writers.
