fine whine

Today's entry is brought to you by the Page-A-Day "Fact or Crap" desk calendar (last seen here): "The main difference between frogs and toads is that frogs are slimy and toads are dry." Wow. This is true, and so fitting for this year's Leap Day (I've been sitting on some of these for a while, you see).

It's a fact! To elaborate:

In addition, frogs tend to spend more time in the water than their warty amphibious cousins do, and they lay eggs in a mass, while toads lay theirs in a chain.

I don't really have much else to say about frogs and toads. Hopefully we will all be able now to identify them at a glance (or a touch, I suppose, to determine sliminess/dryness) and as such we will all be that little bit better off.
