Damn researchers!! :evil: Its great the frog glue works but why damage a healthy animal deliberatly, idiots! cruel and unessesary imo. plenty of footballers with st*ffed joints would volunteer to trial it, then they know it works on people without expensive research. They already knew it wasnt toxic. :evil:

It's illeagal to trial drugs or medical procedures on humans without extensive animal trials first.

Pffft, they gonna end up on a plate somewhere anyways, good knees or not.

And about the glue itself, thats an awesome find. Lets hope they can artificially manufacture it rather than have little froggy glue factories in labs. I could do with some in my knee!!!
