KISS THAT FROG - NO, REALLY, KISS THAT FROG!

The picture alone is worth the effort. There are clearly people in this world who are mentally unhinged enough that they can get through life without getting killed or locked up. 52-year-old Tongsai Boommrungtai of Roi-Et in Thailand is one such person.

Tongsai first met her Frog Prince as it hopped past her house with a chick in its capacious mouth. "I looked her straight in the eye and knew I could communicate with her," she explained. "I told her to drop the chick and she did and then came hopping in."

How she also spotted that the frog was a female isn't clear, but then seeing as "ever since she has been a member of the family," it really doesn't matter.

The frog is not only able to ride a motorcycle - all be it a toy Harley-Davison, which isn't a real motorcycle anyway - but it has psychic powers. Allegedly, a close examination of the skin on its belly can reveal certain numbers; more specifically, National Lottery numbers.

"For a long time villagers would come round and get tips on the National Lottery with the frog's help... Ten people subsequently won the lottery which drew crowds to the house - and then they started losing. So I have had to ground her. I promised one day to take her to the seaside, and her dream has come true."

So trips to the beach and riding a motorcycle are top of the activity list for this ambulant amphibian. the fun-filled froggie is obviously living the good life. The final words from Tongsai:

"There is nothing more that she likes than to chill out on her toy Harley-Davison, or a battery operated dumper truck. But she can strike a pose just about anywhere."

Enough said.

My only comment is: look closely at the frog's middle. He is literally tied to the bike. This is fun for him?
