Sick! Well, I mean, despite the comparison to the scientist Galvani, who I believe was trying to determine whether muscles conduct electricity and the way in which electrical impulses from the brain stimulate movement in limbs, I still think that this new approach repeats history and doesn't really accomplish that much these days, scientifically. (I'm probably wrong, but what a poor reason to watch a frog, in my opinion!)

Why not put a person with a computer and a webcam next to a living frog for a short period of time in the wild (so to speak) and have that human being report daily on a living frog's growth, migration habits and food consumption? That type of data, if arranged categorically by date, measurements of travel and food eaten may provide us with a prediction possibility including frog and assorted ecosystems for Planet Earth's natural and synthetic development in the future and add to the data needed for global warming predictions, too. Thank you!]]>Jul 29th 2007 10:07PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/04/dead-robot-computer-frog/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/04/dead-robot-computer-frog/Jul 28th 2007 12:23AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/04/dead-robot-computer-frog/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/04/dead-robot-computer-frog/Jul 28th 2007 1:29AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/04/dead-robot-computer-frog/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/04/dead-robot-computer-frog/Jul 28th 2007 6:21AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/04/dead-robot-computer-frog/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/04/dead-robot-computer-frog/

i dont even see how that would be considered art.
to me the only thing i consider art is paintings and sculptures,not that mordern art crap that some lunatic put together.]]>Jul 28th 2007 10:30PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/04/dead-robot-computer-frog/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/04/dead-robot-computer-frog/Jul 29th 2007 12:16AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/04/dead-robot-computer-frog/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/04/dead-robot-computer-frog/Jul 29th 2007 2:06AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/04/dead-robot-computer-frog/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/04/dead-robot-computer-frog/Jul 29th 2007 3:03AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/04/dead-robot-computer-frog/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/04/dead-robot-computer-frog/was this a special ed project?

By juxtaposing the two in a graphic manner, he forced us to examine our own feelings towards both subjects. That having been said, as a physician, taking a living creature and mutilating it's remains for art is disrespectful. Even though they COULD make this point, they should have found a more respectful way to do it.]]>Jul 29th 2007 11:01AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/04/dead-robot-computer-frog/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/04/dead-robot-computer-frog/Jul 29th 2007 1:20PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/04/dead-robot-computer-frog/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/04/dead-robot-computer-frog/
julie- I completely agree. Good stuff.]]>Jul 29th 2007 1:40PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/04/dead-robot-computer-frog/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/04/dead-robot-computer-frog/Jul 29th 2007 5:02PM
