The boiled frog syndrome

created by Soberty

If you put a frog in water and slowly heat it, the frog will eventually let itself be boiled to death. This is called the boiled frog syndrome, and is often compared with the human race, slowly dying (of pollution, for example) without noticing it.

'The boiled frog' is also a restaurant in Pewaukee, WI. Unlike the name implies, they don't actually serve boiled frogs. Fried onion rings seem to be their biggest pride, baked frog legs can be eaten for 6 bucks.
