[size=0]No animal, once frozen solid (i.e., water solidifies and turns to ice) survives when thawed, because the ice crystals formed inside cells would break open the cell membranes. However there are certain frogs that can survive the experience of being frozen. These frogs make special proteins, which prevent the formation of ice (or at least keep the crystals from becoming very large), so that they actually never freeze even though their body temperature is below zero Celsius. The water in them remains liquid: a phenomenon known as ’supercooling.’ If you disturb one of these frogs (just touching them even), the water in them quickly freezes solid and they die.[/size]

A good many of those are urban legends, and can be checked on sites like snopes.com.

While there is breathable liquid as seen in the TV series UFO and the movie The Abyss, it is actually hard to breathe unassisted, as there is too much of a carbon dioxide buildup. That said, the rat is actually breathing the liquid in The Abyss (but Ed Harris actually isn't when he's in the suit), and perflubron, the stuff seen in the movie is still being evaluated as medical treatment.

Are all those true?
