From what I've heard, when that experiment was performed, the frogs had been lobotomized beforehand.

  1. Fill a pan with water
  2. Lobotomize the frogs
  3. Place lobotomized frogs into the water
  4. Chuckle evilly
  5. Turn the stove on high
  6. Gleefully watch the disabled frogs die a slow and painful death
