+Doc-Dean Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 What a waste of money. If the frogs can't cross the road that is evolution saying their time is over. How are we supposed to play Frogger!! Quote Link to comment
+radioscout Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 If the tunnel is a good place to hide a cache it is worth its money ! Quote Link to comment
+Johnnie Stalkers Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 So we still don't know why the chicken crossed the road, but we know how the frog does and how much it costs. Maybe the next budget cuts will include the chicken. Quote Link to comment
Colonel Mustard Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 To Tunnel ----> We spend a good amount putting fish ladders around dams on the Susquehanna and Delaware rivers here so American Shad can swim upstream. Guess it was the frog's turn. Quote Link to comment
+Lone Duck Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Signal must be pleased by this. It's probably worth the money, especially if the frog traffic is so great that they are all over the roadways. In the southwest it seemed like every spring when we had a big rain at a certain time, toads would be out in force covering the roadway in certain locations. There was no way to avoid them when driving by, and the results were messy! Quote Link to comment
+RobRee Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 so American Shad can swim upstream. and they swim upstream and DIE.. lol. spawn and die to be exact. then my kids get all upset when they see them floating back downstream every year. Quote Link to comment
+GeoSharks Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 The city of Davis Ca. built a frog tunnel in 1995. Actually, I think it's a toad tunnel. Quote Link to comment
mufasa1023 Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 the first "big block of cheese day" during the first season of west wing had a group of people who wanted the white house to spend 900 million (after corporate sponserships were collected) to build a road for wolves to canada maybe you have to see the show....very humorous Quote Link to comment
TimSkells Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 hmm first thing i think is what if the tunnel gets jammed or something dies in it and clogs it up? Quote Link to comment
+Sparky-Watts Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 hmm first thing i think is what if the tunnel gets jammed or something dies in it and clogs it up? Then ya got a really stinky tunnel....... Quote Link to comment
+sea_dragon Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 What a waste of money. If the frogs can't cross the road that is evolution saying their time is over. I think the frogs were doing alright keeping up with evolution.... they just have a problem keeping up with the humans... Quote Link to comment

I think the frogs were doing alright keeping up with evolution.... they just have a problem keeping up with the humans... We are part of the world too. It's not like we just arrived in our space-traveling 1978 Buick station wagon. If they cant keep up then their time is over. I thought that is what evolution was. Quote Link to comment

In some areas similar to this, it appears as though the frogs' method of combatting the evil humans is to completely cover a road, thereby making a really slick mess when an unknowing motorist passes through the group, causing the car to lose control and plummet into the swamp, where the passengers are readily devoured by the surviving frogs.

Colonel Mustard Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Isn't that a video game or am I thinking of an old "B" grade horror movie???? Quote Link to comment

+carleenp Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Maybe it also protects anxious humans too. I once drove over a section of road at night that was covered with toads. There were thousands of them and it was one of the weirdest things I've ever seen. Anyway, I didn't realize the road was covered with them at first and figured it out after I asked my boyfriend (ex actually) what was continually hitting the car. Once it was figured out, I basically had little panic attacks for about ten miles of road everytime I heard a new "thump" on the bottom or side of the car. I hate to think how many poor little toads I ran over. Ick! Quote Link to comment
