Odd I imagine, but when I went into the bathroom a few minutes ago and
lifted the lid, a large, 4-5" red spotted frog (guessing Cuban tree
frog) was looking back at me. Go ahead and laugh, I still am. I
stood there stunned for a few moments, then tried to scoop it out with
a glass candle holder. Before I could, it swam back through the hole.
I'm guessing it came in through the pipe that goes through the roof,
as we've seen them in those pipes before, hanging out Kilroy style.
So, toilets haven't been used since, and frog hasn't popped back up
yet. Should I wait and see if it does and try to catch it again?
Assume it's down in the septic tank now? Can it get back up into the
vent pipe if that's how it got in? FWIW, this is central FL, and in a
remarkable cold snap right now. I guess it got in to warm up. I'm
confident it came in through the toilet, somehow, but how I don't
know. We'll hold it for now, hoping we can somehow rescue the poor
thing. Any tips welcome, teasing and laughing understood.


This teen age girl, growing up in a California coastal town, was obviously
pregnant — stomach starting to swell, morning sickness, etc. She, however,
tearfully insisted to her mother that she couldn't possibly be pregnant.
She had never "done it" with a boy and it just wasn't possible.

As time went on, however, the signs continued. Her stomach continued to
grow, her appetite increased, and so forth. Her mother insisted she was
pregnant. The girl insisted it wasn't possible. She was still a "good"
girl.

Finally x-rays were taken and the girl was vindicated. She had a large
tumor in her stomach and surgery was performed immediately. To everyone's
amazement the surgeons removed not a tumor but a small, live octopus that
had fastened itself to the lining of the girl's stomach.

What happened to this girl supposedly is really possible. Octopus eggs are
microscopic in size and laid in clusters of tens of thousands. They are

they are not microscopic. they are actually quite large, and you can see the
growing octopus inside them before they hatch.

usually affixed to kelp at the ocean bottom by a sticky secretion. It is
not beyond the realm of possibility that a few could escape and float to
the surface where they could be swallowed by an unsuspecting swimmer . . .
Anyway, don't scoff, because the girl was a close friend of my older
brother's girlfriend.
