For those doing rewrites.... There is a light at the end of the frog tunnel. "
"Most inspirational comment of the day, from Ursula Vernon’s acceptance speech at the Hugos: "There is a species of water beetle that regularly gets swallowed whole by frogs. And while there’s a lot of things you can do to keep from being eaten, once you’re inside a frog, your options are severely limited. Generally you get digested. But this particular species of beetle said, ‘You know, I bet there’s another way.’ And it started walking. In fact, it walked through the frog’s digestive tract and out the back end. This is 100% true, you can look it up. 19 our of 20 of these beetles will simply walk out of the frog, unharmed. It usually takes them about an hour, though one beetle speed-ran the frog in five minutes, which I’m sure was very exciting for the frog. The moral of this story if there is one is that no matter how dark the situation, there is always a way through. And there’s always a light at the end of the frog."
--(Note: In case you were wondering, the species of water beetle is regimbartia attenuata."
