Pirate Frogs

Ancient frogs actually traveled on rafts and ended up reaching the Caribbean. Read that on Yahoo today. Well, the rafts weren't exactly logs of wood tied together. They were natural rafts -- maybe slabs of wood, maybe giant leaves. Well, whatever the case, these frogs of ancient time sat on those natural rafts without thinking of the consequences and sailed away across oceans and continents. It was thanks to these risky, impulsive forefathers of theirs that the modern-day Caribbean frogs are currently living in the beautiful habitat of the Caribbean.

Impulsiveness and spontaneity do have their advantages. Were the frogs that sailed trying to elope? Were they looking for a sea route to Pluto (which is, sadly, no longer a planet)? Were they looking to become big stars in the Rana Tigrina city of dreams? Or were they simply looking for some crazy princess to kiss them and turn them into handsome princes?

Having just watched the third installment of "Pirates of the Caribbean", I can't help wondering: Did any of those frogs actually turn into pirates? Hopping over lily pads with a butterfly wing stuck over one eye? Do you think Captain Jack Sparrow ever had a pet frog of his own? What kind of a treasure chest would a bunch of pirate frogs have anyway? A jar of bugs? And for their flag, would they have an X-ray view of a frog's head?

So many questions that we might never know the answers to. Ain't that a pity?
