6/7/2005: Hindu toad wedding

Undertoad · 06-07-2005, 10:09 AM

What we have here is a wedding of toads! Turns out it's a traditional Hindu ceremony which they hope will please the rain gods and end drought. She's marking the toad with vermillion.

No sillier than many other rituals out there.

At least their cow thing makes sense.

Well toads often appear after a rain so making a few happily married toads just might lead to more toads and well - you get the connection with more toads and rain right?

Well, it makes as much since as saying God created the world since we know there's a world.

They all look stoned to me. Maybe that explains it.

And when they are wed, the guy in the black shirt with the red collar yells out... DY NO MITE!

She learned that technique at the University of Pennsylvania.

Wait for it.

Wart-on school.

Thank you and don't forget to tip your servers.

Please the Rain God? End Drought? How I wonder does the marriage of fricken toads accomplish that?

Same way that the rain goes away when you dance and sing the song.

Oh, and if the toads do actually frick, I think you get extra prosperity.
