The boiling frog story states that a frog can be boiled alive if the water is heated slowly enough - it is said that if a frog is placed in boilling water, it will jump out, but if it is placed in cold water that is slowly heated, it will never jump out.
Whit Gibbons says, "Although finding an answer that destroys an urban myth or a commonly held belief may disappoint some people, we are better off knowing the truth."
Just a urban myth again, beacuse the frog will jump out at about 30-40 C in every experiments, whether heated quickly or slowly.
