6/7/2005: Hindu toad wedding
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?

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.
