Wouldn't that apply to any living creature? Thats surely not supposedly boiling it, that IS boiling it.heyheysg said:

Am I the only one who realised this was meant to be metaphorical?
It usually takes me a while to realise when I've been doing something stupid or something isn't quite right... but then I just try pretend I knew all along and was just joking around.
I think this is what you were asking... I am doubting it myself now. (Though it would be rather fitting if I am wrong about the topic now)

Err this doesn't work, this experiment was merely postulated and was never done for real for decades as technically it was animal cruelty (it hardly served any beneficial scientific purpose like find a cure for cancer).
This was merely an extrapolation of an physiological phenomenon, on testing frogs nervous system it was discovered it couldn't perceive a temperature CHANGE if it was slow enough.
However if the water got hot enough it would still jump out as no matter how slow it increased in temperature, it would always reach a point where the frog started feeling uncomfortable and jumped out in self preservation.
It has no scientific basic any more and now only stands as a social analogy that people don't notice danger if it comes slowly enough. In fact people just don't notice it till it's too late, the only way you can boil a frog is if you kill it or immobilise it before going in the water... or put the lid on tight!
Either way, frogs legs are best fried, thye really are quite tasty, just ask a Frenchman or someone from America's Deep South (two regions where frog's legs are delicacies).

Uhm... I thought this was going to be a discussion about frogs and how explody they get when put in boiling water... guess I was wrong... =(
to answer the question, no one would really notice it until it was too late, much like the frog.
tho i think since we're warm blooded we might notice it a bit quicker and be able to stop ourselves from being badly burned but it wouldn't be a quick recognition of it

Enough with the drugs already! Now I will try to answer.... something...
Since I'm human my body and mind would tell me "Get the fuck out of here your body temperature is to high you massive ****!"

Well I'm not a big fan of bottled water. But I'd go for a flavored affair, perhaps with just a touch of CO2. Got anything you would recommend?stabnex said:
