        Lol, well. I love details. Plus, feet are awesome. Think of all those tiny bones and muscles, etc. that work together perfectly so the frog can hop around. It's probably too deep of a thought for you. Posted 2 years ago

            Technically, just thinking about deep thinking should qualify as deep thinking. Posted 2 years ago
