lol, actually I had frog legs when I was a kid. It was on an overseas trip with my parents -- my dad was in the Navy. Wouldn't try it now, though. No thanks.

edit: although I have heard they do taste like chicken.

THEY'RE MADE OUT OF MEAT

"They're made out of meat."

"Meat?"

"Meat. They're made out of meat."

"Meat?"

"There's no doubt about it. We picked up several from different parts of the planet, took them aboard our recon vessels, and probed them all the way through. They're completely meat."

"That's impossible. What about the radio signals? The messages to the stars?"

"They use the radio waves to talk, but the signals don't come from them. The signals come from machines."

"So who made the machines? That's who we want to contact."

"They made the machines. That's what I'm trying to tell you. Meat made the machines."

"That's ridiculous. How can meat make a machine? You're asking me to believe in sentient meat."

"I'm not asking you, I'm telling you. These creatures are the only sentient race in that sector and they're made out of meat."

Parents must be drilling their kids on how to scoop up as many as they can on the way down.

It would be an indoor activity and the adult would start from one end of an obstacle course to come out at the other end. Each challenge would be designed to exercise certain parts of the body. There would be one section for the truly athletic, and another for the nearly sedentary. The Frog slide should suit the latter.
