Talk:Wide Mouth Frog protocol

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Can someone please explain why this protocol is called as wide-mouth-frog protocol?BluntAXE 18:51, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Here are three ideas:

1. According to one source, "this refers to one of the inventor’s childhood nicknames".

2. Another possibility is that wide-mouthed frogs (or horned frogs) have a curious triangular prolongation of the edge of the upper eyelid. In the original paper, the wide mouth frog protocol diagram is triangular and slightly frog-like.

3. Wide Mouth Frog is also a moral-based children's story, but this is probably not related.
