Frogs like it very much

As captioned in my textbook:

"An overhead view of a frog that is being levitated in a magnetic field produced by current in a vertical solenoid below the frog. (The frog is not in discomfort; the sensation is like floating in water, which frogs like very much.)

( Because not everything has to be exams and final projects, gee dee ai. Sometimes there are frogs. )

Hiiii

Win some, lose some?

Although... even for frogs, it's probably: lose. Diamagnetic frogs count under "Exam" as well as "oh crap" and "ffffff." At least it's cute? Surely there is something cute contained within Civ4?
