Frog-rock-thing

The Oracle at Dingburg.

There appear to be any number of frog-rocks available for consultation. Here’s a page for one in Connecticut. Bill Griffith, Zippy’s creator, lives there. (In Connecticut, not at the rock.)

I would like to ask the frog-rock-thing why I am consistently typing forg for frog.

  1. It's because the f and the r are close to one another, and you type them with the same hand (and with the same finger--even if you "hunt and peck").

    Please don't put me in the back yard and paint me green.

  3. Because you are just so creative! I think 'forg' should be a new word...

  4. I have a definition: a fork whose user is speaking with his mouth full.
