Pour quoi frog?

Why frogs? Well, why not. These frogs are for Darcy, who has been in isolation in The Sydney Children's Hospital. If you want to follow Darcy's progress check out the journal updates here: www.caringbridge.org/visit/darcygilmour10/journal

If you want to make a frog you can find instructions at: http://www.savethefrogs.com/teachers/images/Origami-Jumping-Frog.pdf .

If frogs are beyond you, you can also give blood. Details of how available from the Australian Red Cross Blood Service.

Frogs and vomit - a new angle

I really must give up looking things up on the internet.

Some of the stuff you find goes beyond bizzare.

Apparently frogs don't have a vomit reflex.
Instead of vomiting out the contents of its stomach, a frog can throw up its entire stomach.
Then, having disposed of the bad fly or whatever was making it feel a bit iffy, it re-swallows its internal organs and gets on with being a frog.
