Wow. It's really scary what one finds on the internet. I just found the origin of the Bryn Mawr tradition of lobbing frogs at people who make bad jokes, and it's even older (and odder) than I would have thought at first glance.
And it's in the wierdest place. The FAQ for the newsgroup of author David Weber, who I had never heard of before this.
Go to section 14, 'Frogs and Buzzards and Tortoises, Oh My!'

19/9/02 17:19 (UTC)David Weber writes the Honor Harrington series (Baen Books) -- very popular militaristic space opera. He's also done other stuff, and worked with other people (like Eric Flint, on the alternate history/time-travel stories 1632 and 1633).
Sorry. Will go hide now...
