We hadn't even begun to discuss frogs and small fireworks....

I have to disagree with that. You're the admin - you make the rules, but I don't see any indication of that discussion heading into ugly territory. Both weeble and me presented our arguments and I don't see any punches below the belt line. Anywho. I'll stop it at that. It's just sad that as soon as a topic gets mildly controversial the discussion is stunted immediately.

Well Kotik,

Trying to maintain the SCIENCE of this thread,

What do you figure the blast (splatter) radius is of a small explosive (firework=blackcat) orally inserted into an amphibian (frog). Assume no wind, altitude <500 meters above sea level, 25 deg C.

Weeble

I'd say *KABOOM*

Wind, altitude and sumsuch are of minor importance. What substance is used? Will it be a deflagration or a detonation? What density does the frog tissue have and what's the diameter of the inserted explosive container in comparison to the amphibian's orifice diameter? What's the brisance of the used chemical?

If there are any legs left, give 'em to me. I'll cook 'em and eat 'em. Yum.

Frogs. I had nightmares for years after a biology lab in college where we decapitated and pithed frogs to experiment on the muscle fibers in their legs. Apparently I wasn't very good at pithing. The damn thing stood up headless and started to walk. The attack of the zombie frog...

Happens often with chicken as well. I love eating dead chicken, but watching them getting slaughtered is a no-go for me. Whenever my granny was about to serve chicken, she went off into the backyard, grabbed a chicken, put it on the chopping block and hacked the head off with an axe. Sometimes the headless chicken would continue to run until it piled into something solid and finally died.

Apparently they can even survive as long as Several months

The worst thing I ever saw was when the neighbour tried to butcher a pig. He had this bolt pistol, which was supposed to whack a metal bolt into the piggie's head and kill it mercyfully. He shot and the bolt got stuck in the pig's skull. Then he grabbed a massive sledgehammer and hammered the stuck bolt in. That's the last thing I remember before passing out

After reading some of the comments at the redirected site, I think Conner needs to weigh in. He was the expert on 'Enterprise's' poop question. Now imagine if they needed sparrow poo, you know English or African Sparrow....

Radiation + poop = Attack of The Mutant Poop Monster!

Can we assume a spherical frog?

Nope, Assume a spotted green hopping type frog. figure 3-4 in long sitting perhaps 6-7 in long legs extended. For Dis's sake i hope the legs are extended.

Only 6-7 inches long? Heck, that's not enough meat to bother with. Leave those babies alone and let em grow up some.

We have very few frogs that get much bigger up here. There are some bullfrogs that get enormous (over a foot long) but this aint Louisiana. Its snowing outside right now. BUT, there are rumors of steelhead in the river.....
