DYK about what happens when you boil a pot of crab-frog mutant hybrids of varying degrees of crab and frog nature? The hybrids with a higher frog-nature quotient (FQ) don't notice the pot's temperature increasing. The ones with low FQ notice and try to jump out of the pot, but those with high crab-nature quotient (CQ) grab them as they try to jump out of the pot, dooming the hybrids to a their boiled fate.
You exhibit both high CQ and FQ yet are dumber than either a crab or a frog. Curious!
