A FROG that constantly changes colour is being worshipped as a GOD in India. Hundreds of curious followers flock to Reji Kumar’s home every day to pray and ask for miracles.
Now one of the country’s top zoologists plans to study the rainbow frog. But Reji, 35, who keeps the creature in a glass bottle after finding it while out watering plants, is afraid it might CROAK first.
He said: “My one problem is that this frog does not appear to eat. I keep trying to feed it but it doesn’t eat anything. I don’t know what else to give it.”
The frog was a dazzling WHITE colour when Reji, from Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, first spotted it.
Then it changed to YELLOW and had gone GREY by the time he got it home.
Lift worker Reji added: “By night the frog was dark yellow, and then it became transparent so you could see its internal organs.
"It seemed like a miracle to me that this frog had so many different coats. So now people come to see him and pray to him.”
Professor Oommen V. Oommen from India’s Kerala University, said it was not uncommon for animals to change colour.
He explained: “Frogs do change colour to scare away predators.
“But from what I have heard, the frog at Kumar’s place changes colour so frequently it is a bit unusual. I will collect it for study.”
I love that cartoon.
You have to wonder about a “god” that you can catch and keep in a bottle.
less stupid than bowing 5 times a day to a black rock in Makkah
Mood frog!
I agree.
Not to mention one that seems on the verge of dying from starvation. How much penance do you have to do for killing a "god" even if your intentions were good?
Damn you beat me to it....

Release the darned thing, he’s probably worring his wife, and 1000 tadpoles tremendously..seriously I feel bad for these people that they need to find hope in a ‘frog’, don’t worship creation, worship God who created it!

Hey look, the Indian guy comes along with an anti-Western, anti-white people (and this time anti-Catholic as well) post again when he feels embarrassed about something Indians are doing.
This is the same Indian guy who posts almost exclusively pro-Indian, anti-Pakistan stories, and is basically an Indian propagandist. Lives in Melbourne. Never posts anything pro-Australian though, proving what we all knew about the vast majority of immigrants, that even the basically good ones are totally loyal to their country of origin and ethnic group, and have little to no sense of identity with the country they came to for primarily monetary reasons.
Hahaha!
That was pathetic from you, as usual!
Imagination seems to be a focal point with you, like claiming the imaginary CoLB from Obowma’s goons is a valid proof of his Constitutional eligibility.
The Obama Frog ... change!
BTW, was there a seminar training session for you n00b who showed up in late 2008 to infect FreeRepublic. There seem to be several of your ilk, all signing on within the same thirty day period.
True though isn’t it. Right to the bone.
