New Cure for Impotence: Frog Juice!

Yea, that generous portion of maca plus the aloe and honey probably do more for immpotence than the frog. Then again, the skins of some of those frog do have to brain altering chemical properties ... which they peel off ... Hmmm ... It's def the maca (which is promoted in health stores to men for its male enhancing abilities). At least the frog is cooked by the hot bean broth and I'm guessing they're banking on a placebo effect - belieiving the frog does something and that belief thus augments the actual health properties of the other stuff added into the mix.

Damn those gullible voodoo believers ...

Poor froggies.

And I have a jar of gypsy tears to sell.

At least they peel the skin off. My current research involves frogs and I've had nightmares about having to eat the skin (it's simultaneously slimy, leathery, and crunchy for those of you who've never dealt with live/newly dead frogs). Not to mention, frogs are hard to kill properly. Smashing them against a table doesn't strike me as an effective euthanization method. Those guys are probably half alive when they go in that blender.

I think the question now is: 'What isn't said to cure impotence?'

I think it's the maca that helps the impotence, not the frog.

Maybe the frog adds some flavour or something...

@NeuroGirl

I always thought researchers would zap the frogs dead?! Since that is what we used to do in Biology class. :o

@Bob

I think Panda tears don't cure it... ;)

All you need is a good recipe.

Just add some garlic & olive oil, cook in a pan, and add a little parsley at the end. Yum.

@NeuroGirl: When I was an undergraduate working in a university lab, I had to go to the building's roof for an experiment ... and ran into an unmarked door. Inside were three large pools filled to the brim with frogs!

@ Ali: We're currently studying a certain transepithelial sodium transport channel - zapping them creates action potentials that would ruin the data. Standard procedure is to double pith the frog, run the experiment, and then preform a thoracotamy.

@ Alex: Our university's unmarked door on the top floor is where the human corpses are kept.

@ Neurogirl

Ah, I see! Yeah, the electric current would certainly ruin any chances of getting untainted data and tainted data would just be bad science.

...corpses?! :o
