It reminds me of a press conference by The Beatles. When asked how they found America, IIRC, John Lennon answered: "We went to Greenland and made a left turn."

We pronounce it: Rezept, das.berkeman said:
But it means something else: recipe, and prescription (which you receive). I assume the same word for both dates back to times when the pharmacist had to "cook" the drugs like a chef does. Both follow what is written on a list by someone else.

A lot of the appeal in this pic is how the frogs on the left and right have their eyeballs turned towards the camera. Either because the light comes in from that direction, or because the photographer's movements drew their attention.

Edit: Plus, the frog on the right has that feature at the end of its mouth, that makes it look like the Amazon smile. (Is there a technical term for that feature?)

They don't look anything like long legged Kermit.
Instead, they appear to be a gang of muscled up toads.

I am reminded of a Goon Show episode where they have to cross a jungle. They come to a river and build a raft, then portage the raft to the next river, where they have to build a bigger raft because now they have to get themselves and the first raft across.BillTre said:
In both cases they observe that the river is on the map, note that it shouldn't be on the map, and pour it back into its banks. Then notice that it would have been easier to cross the dry riverbed first.
