Salvete Omnes!

This is just the kind of thing that brings our hobby into disrepute.

1) Caesars Toga is incorrect, it should fold back around the wasit

2) Cleopatra's ring should be on her index finger

What a bunch of muppets....

Cato might disagree with you about Caesar -- in fact he might think a frog too noble a beast for Caesar.

Only 3 fingers. (1 thumb)

Look:
The Thumb is the opposable digit.
The Index finger is by definition next to the thumb.
The pinky is by definition the last finger.
The middle finger is in the middle. Not really a problem since there are only 3 real fingers. And besides the loss of the middle finger would render non-verbal communication problematic.

Therefore the conclusion is obvious. There is NO ring finger. And therefore muppets should not be allowed to wear rings. And therefore should not be allowed to get married.

I do NOT support extending the definition of marriage to muppets.

Personally I am greatly disturbed by the blatant anachronism: books instead of scrolls.

Well, maybe those are wax tablets? Hey, it could be, after all. As for the frog, well, you know, it's not easy being green.
