    Brothel benefits gas guzzlers
    SYDNEY, Australia (Reuters) -- Hot and bothered by rising pump prices? Australian brothels are offering clients discounts based on their gas bills.

    Brothel owners claim the system works much the same way as supermarkets that offer shoppers discounted gas prices by presenting their grocery bills when they fill up their tanks.

    "If you come in and spend time with one of our lovely ladies, we'll give you a discount of 20 cents a liter," Kerry, manager of Sydney brothel the Site, told Reuters on Wednesday.

    There is no link between brothels, petrol providers or supermarkets, but brothels such as the Site and Madame Kerry's say the system is simple.

    Once you've filled up your car, bring your receipt to the brothel, and they'll discount the price of your visit.

    Nah, I think Melted Jhonnycake has the "gutted out eyes" market squarely cornered. The fountain of blood coming from his eye sockets is quite disconcerting.

    Man Forced to Marry Goat
    Sudan man forced to 'marry' goat

    A Sudanese man has been forced to take a goat as his "wife", after he was caught having sex with the animal.
    The goat's owner, Mr Alifi, said he surprised the man with his goat and took him to a council of elders.

    They ordered the man, Mr Tombe, to pay a dowry of 15,000 Sudanese dinars ($50) to Mr Alifi.

    "We have given him the goat, and as far as we know they are still together," Mr Alifi said.

    Mr Alifi, Hai Malakal in Upper Nile State, told the Juba Post newspaper that he heard a loud noise around midnight on 13 February and immediately rushed outside to find Mr Tombe with his goat.

    "When I asked him: 'What are you doing there?', he fell off the back of the goat, so I captured and tied him up".

    Mr Alifi then called elders to decide how to deal with the case.

    "They said I should not take him to the police, but rather let him pay a dowry for my goat because he used it as his wife," Mr Alifi told the newspaper.

    That's how all crime should be handled.

    I think we could learn a thing or two from Sudanese law.

    In ancient Greece, a man guilty of adultery would have a turnip shoved up his ass.
  • edited September 2006
    How big of a turnip are we talking about here?

    And what if he was caught cheating with a man? Then the turnip up the ass may not deliver the same level of punishment as intended.
  • edited September 2006
    It would when he had to pull it out.

    Um...what the heck?
    BEIJING Sure, the pandas look cute and cuddly. But they do bite. And one drunk Chinese man bit back. The Beijing Morning Post reports a migrant worker (Zhang Xinyan) downed four jugs of beer and jumped into the panda pen at the zoo. The sleeping panda was startled and took a chunk out of the man. The man says he got mad and started kicking the panda, which bit his other leg. The drunk man says he bit the panda back. The man says he doesn't remember much, but was surprised pandas bite. Zoo officials must figure the panda has inflicted enough punishment of its own. For now, the drunken intruder isn't being prosecuted.
