You Are About To Vomit: My Army Of Zombie Frogensteins

I dare you–I outright defy you–to watch this video all the way through without singing Hello! Ma Baby.  It can’t be done.  Unless you are unable to stop vomiting all over your monitor and keyboard.  But even then, you’ll still be singing it in your head while gurgling out the melody.

Because these are fresh frog legs, the cells inside them are all still intact. The biochemical machinery still functions. There is still a source of energy for the muscles in the form of unused ATP molecules stored in the cells. All that the muscles need is something to activate them and they can still contract and relax (until they run out of ATP or something else shuts down the biochemical machinery). Salt can do the same thing as electricity because salt contains sodium ions. Sodium (and potassium) ions are used in cells to create voltage differences. In a living frog, it is a nerve signal from the brain that tells the muscle to contract. In this case, it is the sodium in the salt.
