Kissing frogs

As many of you already know, one of the highlights of my column are the responses I get. I wanted to share this one with you:

Hi Paige



One of the highlights of my Sunday morning is reading you columns. “Things men shouldn’t invent” was brilliant. I think I remember an experiment I did my Zoology in first year at Wits some 62 years ago (that’s why I only think I remember) was to put urine harvested from a pregnant lady onto a female “platana” frog. The frog would immediately lay eggs! Wouldn’t peeing on a frog be easier than trying to piddle on a man-made stick?


My very best regards

Dear Hector,

Thank you, this has made my Monday, which is saying a lot, since I’m not the greatest fan of Mondays.
My very best regards
Paige.

I only wish I’d known about this before I’d written the column, it would have made the best paragraph ever.

Here’s a picture of a Plantana frog that hasn’t been weed on yet.
