Tongue of Dog?


Oh gross! What was Bill thinking when he penned that chant. People in India are caught up in worshiping a rainbow frog. The frog changes colors from white to yellow, to gray, to transparent all in a very short time. A man was watering his plants when he found the frog. He captured it and now it lives in a glass bottle. Hundreds of worshipers hop to his house to ask the frogs for miracles. Unfortunately, the god frog won't eat and his followers are afraid he will will croak. In Western Asia, a group of people worship dogs. The Kalang of Java have a cult of the red dog. Every family has a wooden sculpture of a red dog. When someone dies, the people in the house worship the dog for 1,000 days, then they burn it. Yikes.
