I am going to admit some borderline teenage animal cruelty...

When I was a teen, my pal and I modified a model rocket that could hold a payload. Above plenty of padding, we added a frog with a parachute.

The rocket launched, the frog ejected hundreds of feet above us, and parachuted down. He looked no worse for wear. We kept him overnight for observation, and let him go the next day.

That frog had some stories that none of his friends were going to believe!

"Uh, huh.. sure Jeremy, have another one (roles eyes as crowd laughs) -It was the psychological damage mk, not the physical that haunted Jeremy the once abducted frog.
