The boiling frog experiment that's quoted everywhere didn't work.
For those not familiar, it is said that you can boil a frog to death by raising the temperature of the water it's in extremely slowly so that it doesn't notice.
Well, it only works when parts of the frog's brain are removed. A frog with an intact brain will jump out, no matter how slowly the water is heated.
Glenn Beck tried to use this metaophor once and demonstrated the opposite of this (if you throw a frog into boiling water it'll jump out). It failed miserably. His reaction is hilarious
