Brumation, not hibernation.

It’s called fins, not flippers, too. They didn’t get ANYTHING right.

Even the air tanks are the wrong size, and there’s no BCD OR weights.

My ‘B’ is like the ‘G’, in Fred G. Sanford; it’s malleable. lol

@Mr. B
Does “Mr. B” stand for… “Mr Bat”?

Bats don’t have radar.

We number one according to most Disaster-type movies.
No matter what happens, human kind pulls throught.
Whenever it’s zombies, giant lizard, stopped earth core, an ice age, meteor or anything like that. I wish that we really could pull throught if such thing occures.

Also – Sahara Desert – underground bunker =)

Great. Now I’m going to have nightmares about being chased by giant frogs while I attempt to flee on snowshoes while wearing a furry nightgown.

Come to think of it, that’s better than my usual dreams.

Nice timing on this, what with the recent revelations about a certain cryogenics company.

Frogs can’t “live” at 15 below, they just don’t die. It’s my understanding frogs have this ability that when they hibernate it keeps their cells from freezing and exploding due to the expansion of water. I have no idea how, I heard about it years ago and have since purged the relevant data.

But if you froze a frog to 15 below you would find it’s not that lively. It’d probably be as hard as a rock. But the difference would be once you thawed out your froggy ice rock it would start jumping around again.

I would say it is more appropriate to say frogs can “survive” temperatures as low as 15 below.

Ontario is lousy with frogs and it doesn’t get much colder than 15 below there. No frogs here in Manitoba, where 15 below Fahrenheit is a warmish winter’s day.

We’re number one…until the giant frogs come!
