We'll keep it short and sweet:

  • In Costa Rica, a new species of frog was discovered. And their colors are extraordinary.
  • In Surrey, England, theives stole a painting of a frog sitting on a toilet from a gallery.

Clearly it's been a slow news week, which just may be a good thing. Oh, and we cleaned our frog/fish/snail tank out for the first time in a month. Everyone is alive and well. Cheers!
