    Please don’t jump to conclusions yet. This has been observed in European common frogs so if your advances towards, say, Tasmanian toad, have been refused and the toad appears to be dead, it might be, in fact, dead.

        Really as a scientist you can be smart enough to discover such a thing, but apparently that’s no guarantee you’re also smart enough to keep it to yourself

    Now, I know why women I approach were inexplicably dead. They weren’t dead, they were playing dead to avoid me.
