Boiling Frogs - Part 1
If you have listened to enough presentations from motivational speakers, politicians, management consultants, environmentalists or even religious clergy, you will almost certainly have heard the tale told of the frog in hot water.
This engaging little parable claims that if you plunge a frog into boiling water, it will immediately jump out. But if you put the frog into room temperature water, and then slowly heat the water to boiling, the frog doesn't realise what's happening and gets cooked to death.
This neat, but gruesome, image is used to warn you against small, gradual changes usually imposed by the forces of evil, bringing you closer to the devil.
