There are no words. (from "News of the Weird", here)

A February BBC News story, citing a local newspaper in Upper Nile state in Sudan, reported that village elders had required a Mr. Tombe, as punishment for having been caught having sex with a female goat, to pay a dowry to the goat's owner and to care for the nanny as if they were "married." (The story ran worldwide, with Australia's News Limited's Web site reporting it with a file photo of a goat, adorned with a black bar across its eyes, to protect its privacy.) [BBC News, 2-24-06]

And will you also be changing your Post-Crackpot-Theories switch to 'off'?

I hope the goat had been eating raw foods.

Hey steven. Uh, Tombe. Haven't heard from you in a while. How are you doing?
