I can't help but share one more insurance thing... We insure lots of funeral home and have started to see a trend of losses. This stems from two other trends:
1) more people than ever are getting cremated.
2) Adult obesity is at an all time high

What do you get when you add those two things together? Funeral homes trying to cremate fat people which in turn burns the funeral home down!

Yes this is a real thing! And yes we have an active loss prevention program running right now to educate funeral home owners about this risk!

You literally can't make this stuff up....

I know you are not making this stuff up we watch that on Six Feet Under and they take a lot of those stories from real life .
Then last Spring my niece brought up a news story at Easter dinner about a bad fire at a crematorium from trying to do som 600-pound person.
We all know how grease fires are in a kitchen....

In one way it seems so {bad}, but a part of my can't stop visualizing ...

What is a Toad, and don't answer that it's one of those cool green things that hop around.

Ralphie, correct me if I'm wrong but my understanding is: A toad is one of Ralphies CX crossed with a CX. He was told in no uncertain terms that he couldn't call it a CX because CXs are made from crossing a cornish with something else (sorry, I can't remember what the other breed is) and since he crossed two CXs it wasn't a true CX so he just coined the term "toad" for his CX cross chickens.

So close, yet so wrong.

A toad is a CX crossed with a Rainbow.
A frog is a CX crossed with a CX.

But you have the reason for the new breed name correct. BTW the APA has not sent the official letter accepting them as a breed.

You get an "E" for it too,,


It would have been an "A", but we have switched to the new style of grading so no one fails.
