Alaska has been made fun of a lot lately, thanks to the help of former Gov. Sarah Palin. But we really should take another look. It’s a state where they battle polar bears and seals. Now, it’s also a place where no tree frog is safe.
Dead set on ruining Christmas for humans, Pacific tree frogs are invading Alaska, hitch hiking on Christmas trees. The state is aware of the threat, and they want citizens to turn in the suspected frogs “dead or alive.” We of course prefer the former of the two options.
But this raises the question, how does one kill a frog in a Christmas tree? Since running it over with a car (the traditional way) is out of the question, Alaska recommends putting Orajel on the frog’s head, which shames the frogs into unconsciousness, then throw them in the freezer. This is called the Han Solo method.
