Not really about frogs

In a lot of the locally written documentation about software at Grinnell College, the identifier frogs is used as a ``metasyntactic variable'' -- a conventional placeholder for some file, directory, text, graphic, or executable program that a real user would actually refer to. (Similarly, ``George Spelvin'' is a conventional placeholder for a typical user, and ``bourbaki'' for a typical Unix workstation.)

In this case, frogs.html is an arbitrary HTML file, viewable as a World Wide Web page. It's not really about frogs.
