I finally figured out the perfect valentine’s date!! I am such a romantic. My fiance will be so happy.

Must have been a really slow day in the news when CBS reported this.

Here’s people that stick to traditions a little too literally. Guess he deserved it.

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, of 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.

Having a knowledge of various hip-hop and rap songs as well as a dorkiness that is inherent in my being, I had no choice but to laugh at most of these various graph and pie chart analyses of famous rap songs. You can see them here.

I am always amused by poor translations from one culture to another. I have to admit, East Asian countries do that best job screwing it up. Here are some highlights.
