THIS is a big salamander.

It's a Japanese giant salamander. That is all. Via. 

"Hello? Yes, I have frogs in my toilet."

"No, I am not speaking metaphorically."

Via.

In Lake Titicaca dwells a giant frog...

High in the mountains, over 12,000 feet up on, between Peru and Bolivia, is the highest big lake in the world.

It is called Lake Titicaca.

And in Lake Titicaca is a giant frog.

It’s called the Lake Titicaca frog.

Who saw that coming?

This giant frog has big folds of skin, which help it get more oxygen in its system. They also makes the Lake Titicaca frog look pretty wacky!

Fun Fact: The frog's scientific name is Telmatobius coleus: “aquatic scrotum”.

LEGO Frog Dissection!

Photo by Dave Keleta

If dissecting a real amphibian is too gross for you, practice on a LEGO frog instead. That's what Dave Kaleta did! (This is his entry for the MOC Olympics.)

The advantage to LEGO frog guts is that they're not slimy...and they all fit together perfectly!

"Waiter, there's an amphibian in my oatmeal."

There's a website called Pimp My Porridge. It's devoted to creative oatmeal dishes.

Is that gross? I guess not! So let's see what they're recommending today...hmm, looks like "Frogs Leg Porridge."

Which is EXACTLY what it sounds like!

Hey, I have some better ideas for this website. How about "Puke in My Porridge"? Or maybe "Gut Dump in my Porridge Bowl"?

(In other news, I have a photo update on yesterday's posting on my Porta-Potty visitor!)
