9-Year-Old Girl Marries Dog in India
The Associated Press NEW DELHI, India June 19 � A 9-year-old girl was married to a stray dog in a ceremony attended by more than 100 guests in a village in India's eastern state of Bengal as part of a ritual intended to ward off a bad omen, newspapers reported Thursday. The girl, Karnamoni Handsa, had to be married quickly to break an evil spell, according to the beliefs of her Santhal tribe in the remote village of Khanyan, the Hindustan Times said. Karnamoni's tooth had grown on her upper gum, which Santhals consider a bad omen. The girl's father, Baburam Handsa, a poor sharecropper, could not afford the expenses of marrying his daughter to a boy, so he saved money by making a street dog the groom on June 11, the paper reported. Other news media also reported on the ritual, which does not interfere with the girl's life. She suffers no stigma and is free to marry later. She doesn't even need to divorce the dog. http://abcnews.go.com/wire/World/ap20030619_535.html |

I can just imagine the announcement in the local paper
We would like to announce the marriage of our daughter Miss Karnamoni Handsa to Mr Jack Russell |
origin of sars
panda dogs are probably a result of some chinese genetically engineered freaks of nature such as those pig/chicken or whatever as some chinese are trying to cross breed animals and thus indirectly bring about sickness and viral epedemics throughout asia as they introduce these disease ridden animals into their markets and they spread uncontrollably...... i read that sars could have possibly started because of such actions of wayward chinese scientists...
