Hermaphroditic frogs.

Researchers at UC Berkeley, in a finding that is rocking the toxicology world, found that up to 20% of male frogs develop multiple sex organs - “sometimes both male and female” - when exposed to very low levels of the common weed killer atrazine. Although this story is pretty interesting, I’m posting it in order to get more air time for the following quote by the lead researcher on the project: “I’m not saying [atrazine]’s safe for humans. I’m not saying its unsafe for humans. All I’m saying is it that it makes hermaphrodites of frogs.”

And really, that’s all that needs to be said.
