Geocache Description:


The Cache is not at the posted Coordinates

Note, at GZ there is no need to cross any roads

The boiling frog story is a widespread anecdote describing a frog slowly being boiled alive. The premise is that if a frog is placed in boiling water, it will jump out, but if it is placed in cold water that is slowly heated, it will not perceive the danger and die.(hmmmm.... Ms Wig is frowning). The story is often used as a metaphor for the inability of people to react to significant changes that occur gradually. It is also used in business to illustrate the idea that change needs to be gradual to be accepted.

Modern sources tend to dispute that the phenomenon is real.

In 1995, Professor Douglas Melton said, "If you put a frog in boiling water, it won't jump out. It will die. If you put it in cold water, it will jump before it gets hot, they don't sit still for you."

The boiling frog story is useful as a metaphor, comparing it to the metaphor of an ostrich with its head in the sand (Oh that gives me an idea for another cache :-D )

I guess boiling is also one way to turn a frog from Green to.....

Red
OH!! Ms Wig just turned Green!!



Now that makes me think of those lollies (I digress I know). I have heard there are those out there that enjoy these little red and green frogs.

So I have left a treat for those that like them...
