OP I'm reading el's in the dictionary today. Just found something singularly gross:
lipochrin
Makes me think of leprechauns for some odd reason.
Anyway, read this definition and keep your eyes on the frogs:
"(n.) A yellow coloring matter, soluble in ether, contained in the small round fat drops in the retinal epithelium cells. It is best obtained from the eyes of frogs."
Wonder what it could be used for? How long it's been around? What kind of frogs are used? Are the extrators aware of the fact that our frog population is diminishing? How important are frog eye extractions? What is the process? Are we looking at a vat of frogs' eyes? Is anyone else thinking Macbeth?
