So how'd we get a frog in there as the standard for comparison? Was it just for the mental image of the frog escaping (or not escaping, as it were) by simply hopping out of the little pan?

But who the hell ever cooked anything by placing it, live, in a watery pan, and then applying heat v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y? Who, indeed.
And what's the deal with airplane food?
