I just heard that somewhere in the 'cold zone' a local lake froze over
so fast it caught all the frogs trying to jump into the water, froze
them in place with their bodies in the ice and their legs sticking out
into the air.  Last report was of someone driving onto the lake in a
Vanagon (what kind of tires??), pulling out a lawnmower and pushing it
across the ice, harvesting the frog's legs for the local French
restaurant. A list member maybe?
