I have a functional frog- when you press down just right, it hops. LONG time ago, a stripper- apparently they have little practical use for one-dollar bills, even back then- made it for me...I had to trade her a crisp one, however. Of course, my kid now plays with it. Thankfully, I haven't had to explain its origin. The dragon, crab and scorpion/spider are impressive.

Although I have to be skeptical about a Masters degree in Origami. Really? Although if anybody does, this guy certainly deserves an advanced degree in this subject. Amazing. The spider and the scorpion are identical pictures, BTW. Very cool stuff. Although I have to be skeptical about a Masters degree in Origami. Really?
