p.s. as you will likely read in another forum on here about college majors and APs, I have a vested interest in herpetofauna (reptiles and amphibians) and am actually an anuran biologist. So I was making a small joke about your name, "SageFrog". What is the Sage all about then if you don't mind my asking? |
very cool video. rather mind boggling isn't it. being a biologist i guess you've heard of some of the theories with regard to the size of living things and why it is thought that they are the size they are with respect to the size of other things in the universe and such.
one of the clearest of my early (childhood) memories is about frogs. i was at that time obsessed with frogs. a neighbor boy had this huge bull frog that i think he got at a county fair, well anyway when i saw his frog then of course i wanted one. he told me frogs could be paralized if you shine a light in their eyes at night and that they always came back to the same rock to sit. well i spotted a pretty big frog on the bank of a creek near our home. my dad and i went down to that creek at night, shined a light in the frog's eyes and i crept up on it and managed to grab it.
the Sage part is a good bit of an interest i've had for some time. i dunno i'm just into the concept of wisdom.
anyway i needed a user name on various sites and Sage is usually taken to i just decided to tag it with fr0g as i knew i'd never forget that.
probably just a Freudian slip that i also have this belief that we have a semi-active archaic reptilian part of our brain and then the higher order part that sometimes shall we say conflict.
i'll have to check out the post with regards to college majors......
