7. did you read this part of it?

"According to the Indo-Asian News Service, some rural Indians are holding frog weddings in the hopes that the amphibians' bliss will inspire farm-saving storms. After marking the bride and groom with vermillion and turmeric—traditional adornments in human Hindu nuptials—villagers take the supposedly happy couple to a nearby pond to honeymoon."

Man there are literally thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of tiny little barking frogs around here, I should open me up a chapel, Vegas-style, and hold some mass frog weddings. We need rain so bad it isn't even funny.

11. well, if you could send them through the mail I could send you a few hundred

I mean, they are legion here. Where I live is in between two ponds, but the lower pond is in a valley of sorts where everything on either side drains into...they start their 'barking' at night and they are incredibly loud, all 7 million of them or however many. But they are tiny, like maybe 2 or 3 inches long and skinny, not with a fat belly like toads. I find them everywhere, too, on the windows, the door frames...the other day one somehow got in between the screen and the window and I had to let him out or he'd have roasted. I wish I knew what the name of them is, they breed like crazy.
