Weird. The salt causes this?
It's been a few years since I took Physiology, but I'm inclined to think the salt gets it started.


Muscle activity is primarily dependent on the flow of calcium, so I'm guessing the salt is triggering action potentials in the motor nerves. The residual twitching could be the result of disinhibition.
Being unfamiliar with frog anatomy (and culinary preparation) I'm not entirely certain how much of the spinal cord remains, if any; they don't appear to be particularly coordinated movements, so I suspect there isn't much spinal muscle memory going on.
That said, so much of animal physiology is dependent on the flow and balance of ions (like sodium), so it could be an entirely different process than I've postulated.

dude..your awesome.

Is there a name? Sounds sort of like science/philosophy.

Wish I had someplace to point you, but I don't know of any books that discuss these types of things. I'm sure they exist, since it's not exactly a unique viewpoint, but I can't say I've read anything to that effect. I'd be more than happy to discuss my personal thoughts on the matter, but it's all just conjecture and inference.

I didn't exactly understand what you were saying but I was getting some interesting thoughts. Do you have some links to reading material on this?

What binds those cells, those atoms, into my experience? From a scientific standpoint, there's nothing there that isn't everywhere else in the universe - just particles and physics.

Well, I had little else to work from, but so long as it got something!

One interesting thing is that shot glass didn't actually produce the hit I was expecting; instead it hit the writer's offhand remark about a "shot of acquitted felons streaming out of the courthouse". But it worked, so hey.
It's Lazydude's fault he's hard to find, though. He wore the bathrobe to distinguish himself - he should have included that tag somewhere in his video descriptions.

Haha. That's damn near the same string of keywords that I used! I just didn't scroll all the way down! Thanks!

I Googled movie reviews bathrobe shot glass and the last link on the first page was your answer: Lazydork.
