I couldn't make this stuff up...
A Sudanese man has been forced to take a goat as his "wife", after he was caught having sex with the animal.
Do you think this was a "fair" punishment? Or is it really punishment? After all, the man likes having sex with the goat. Shouldn't they have asked the goat first?

I don't expect many to post in this thread, or, frankly, even read it. I just thought I should post it as a counterweight to the school-shooting threads. Just for the sake of perspective, not for comparison... (just quoting here)

Are you kidding? You're drifting dangerously close to spam material - and there's no shortage of folk with ideas on spam. *nods emphatically*
So upon divocrce, does the goat get half of everything?
I figured that I had better post this, or Drunk Commies would.

Eh, not the first time this has happened. Not surprised in the least.
What? Did it happen to you? :D

Well, you can't really expect them to do that in Sudan ;)

If more people were forced to marry goats, maybe there would be fewer school shootings!

This sort of thing has happened before, if I recall correctly. Last time it was in Pakistan.

So it wasn't secularism and gay marriage that had people marrying animals after all? Whoda thunk it?

I thought I'd read the same thing before, and then I noticed the "news" item in the OP is dated February 2006.
Since no one else posted it yet...
that's just Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.

It's just a great example of the old rule, "You penetrate it, you marry it." A very traditional cultural norm.
Just wait. In a year or so, they'll be divorced, the goat'll get custody over the kids, and the Sudan guy'll be smoking two packs a day and bringing out a solo album. Just like Britney and Kev.
