I heard this over the radio the other day, apparently in medieval/ancient times they believed to place a frog in their bucket of milk ...

Was the frog alive,dead or "they didn't care"?   Ewww. <_<

yup,  people, in general, are smart.. i guess,   and observant .  Someone noticed that the milk with the frog found in the bottom stayed fresh longer than usual?
so... they tried it again and it still worked !*  

It's like Yogi Berra said....  " sometimes you can see a lot ,  just by looking " :)

Observation, experiments and thought experiments are foundations of our science.

I'd like to believe dead for the frogs sake. However though, I don't know if the bacteria needed to keep the milk from spoiling may be produced, even after the frog has deceased.. nonetheless; this topic really interests me.

As in water, I'm sure they would keep their head above the surface, and float about. Assuming they didn't kill the frog beforehand, but now the more I think of it; frog guts with milk seems a bit unlikely, even for them. xD

Well most of us eat bee vomit and some people frogs legs and tequila has a moth lava so I suppose a frog in milk is okay.  :su

I wonder if that's why they say when you drink a lot of milk you can get a frog in your throat :unsure2: .......really! it's to do with an allergy to dairy products.
