2. Looks like the she-phibian got some lipstick but I was hoping for henna.
On second thought, henna might poision a frog because of their sensitive skin. I just dunno. But, hey, anything to appease the rain gods, eh? Silly, silly.

Whoops, gotta run! I'm off to sacrifice a red heifer on the Temple Mount so the Messiah can return!

3. But as you can see, they've forced arbitrary female gender dress and customs on one frog.
Even amphibians are not safe from heteronormativity!

6. But Ive heard that women in India get married to dogs and trees.. and often
Edited on Tue Apr-28-09 01:37 PM by TheCoxwain
without their consent.

I guess even one of the Hindu gods ( I think the elephant god) is married to a banana tree.

So why would there be a law against gay marriage?
