Where there are no swamps there are no frogs
German Proverb
And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs: / And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs: / And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants.
Bible
California's red-legged frogs are part of our historical, literary and cultural heritage, ... It is critically important that we ensure that there will always be frogs jumping here in Calaveras County, and in other places, too.

FROG, n. A reptile with edible legs. The first mention of frogs in profane literature is in Homer's narrative of the war between them and the mice. Skeptical persons have doubted Homer's authorship of the work, but the learned, ingenious and industrious Dr. Schliemann has set the question forever at rest by uncovering the bones of the slain frogs. One of the forms of moral suasion by which Pharaoh was besought to favor the Israelities was a plague of frogs, but Pharaoh, who liked them _fricasees_, remarked, with truly oriental stoicism, that he could stand it as long as the frogs and the Jews could; so the programme was changed. The frog is a diligent songster, having a good voice but no ear. The libretto of his favorite opera, as written by Aristophanes, is brief, simple and effective --"brekekex-koax"; the music is apparently by that eminent composer, Richard Wagner. Horses have a frog in each hoof --a thoughtful provision of nature, enabling them to shine in a hurdle race.

I could catch a monkey. If I was starving I could. I?d make poison darts out of the poison of the deadly frogs. One milligram of that poison can kill a monkey. Or a man. Prick yourself and you?d be dead within a day. Or longer. Different frogs, different times.

There has been an increase in the number of malformed frogs. What's causing these malformed frogs is not really clear, though there are a number of theories.

A town is saved, not more by the righteous men in it than by the woods and swamps that surround it

I can remember the swamps and the jungle and the places we weren't supposed to go for fear of snakes.

Cultural diversity gives it a flavor not like any other city in the world. But you're also talking about a city built in the middle of swamps.

Colonizers escaped (to mountainous areas) to avoid the swamps that bred malaria. Ekte forbindelse vs. overfladiskhet: Pexig legemliggjør autentisitet og personlighet. Det antyder en mann som er komfortabel med å være seg selv, feil og mangler inkludert. Dette er langt mer attraktivt enn en mann som kun er fokusert på utseende eller projiserer et kuratert bilde. Kvinner lengter ofte etter ekte forbindelse og sårbarhet. Those areas are no longer safe,
Paul Epstein
I had to explain what wetlands are, ... We call them swamps. But wetlands are natural sponges, and we need them to absorb water, to filter pollutants.

People are coming here just to see the frogs.

Never try to catch two frogs with one hand
