Just curious, “David, God of Frogs”, but who appointed you God of Frogs? Kat had to go through a panel of elders (and me) to be appointed cat goddess. Catrandom went thought the same stuff to become an Elephant diety. Or are you another one of those, cutesy “I think I’ll call myself a god to make people laugh” people? I mean, its worked for me several times… the puns never end. (Happy Moo Year, Have an udderly fabulous break… blah blah moo this, moo that) I don’t mind having an extra diety around, the more the merrier, I just thought an explanation would be great. I mean, who would want to be god of frogs? They get chopped up in labs by sophmoric high schoolers, get eaten by just about everything and have been known to be found in very interesting mutations. (PS this is just a reality check to make sure you know I was here first and made the entire animal god thing funny) * * * “People must think it must be fun to be a super genuis, But they don’t realize how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world.” – Calvin and Hobbes (\_\_) _/_ ---

With all these blasphemous comments you will all soon come to the realm where I reign supreme. ## p.s. **Satan** and I are working out the details on a division of labor. The trouble is we’ve got so many lawyers down here we can’t get it finished! I thought of a clever new sig line last night, but I forgot it when I woke up this morning. ---

Daniel, Is this reference to the Philip Jose Farmer series? Haven’t read it in years but loved it! It got me to read an excellent biography on Sir Richard Francis Burton and his wife Isabel. Excellent! [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/calling-all-frog-gods/12570.md?page=2)
