We seem to recall something like this from way back, but anyone that did biology at school will remember dissecting their frog first gas the thing, start work while its blood is still cold, dunk it in formalin until next time, and how after a week or three, the way the preserved corpse became less and less frog-like, less and less enticing; all that could be a thing of the past, thanks to the Madras Chapter of Blue Cross of India, whose Save The Frog campaign (save it for eating presumably, since vast numbers of the frogs that end up on continental dinner tables come from India): Newsbytes reports that it has developed Compufrog, a menu-driven program that enables students to do their dissections clinically on screen – on a virtually live frog, since it includes animated sequences showing the frog’s innards at work – but don’t expect to see it on Sesame Street.
