Why is it forbidden to lick frogs in Los Angeles?

Frogs secrete a substance that some lick in order to achieve the effect of narcotic effects.
The law was passed after urban teenagers discovered that the skin of some frogs contains hallucinogens.

Drug addicts caught frogs and diligently licked them, and the police could not do anything about it.

A demolition worker has been killed when a sports complex roof collapsed prematurely in the Russian city of St Petersburg, officials say.
Dramatic drone footage shows the man with a blow torch cutting through metal supports at the SKK Peterburgskiy when the massive structure disintegrates.
He is seen trying to scramble to the safety of a cage suspended from a crane, but does not appear to make it.
The body of a 29-year-old man was found later in the rubble.

The Brain has the Power of Neurogenesis, i. e., the Formation of New Neurons.

This mainly occurs during intrauterine development and up to the first months of life.

However, in the first three years of life, it forms the maximum number of synapses. According to some studies, a three-year-old baby has about a million billion contacts in the brain: each neuron makes contact with the other at least 15,000 times.

As an adult, about half of these connections are retained. Such a highly curious choice of evolution: instead of accumulating connections, it preferred to create their surplus in order to quietly sacrifice the extra ones later.

• This process is called synaptic pruning.
