Congratulations, Ken!
On your wedding this weekend:
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.
The happy couple is registered online if you are thinking of sending a gift.

Would a gift of sheepskin condoms be in poor taste?

[ignoring this bizarre meme and getting serious for a moment]
So Muslims kill adulterers and rape victims and homosexuals and Jews and Christians and darker Muslims...
...but this guy has to marry the goat.
Actually, I'm guessing this is a non-Muslim village that somehow has not yet been slaughtered.

BTW, Sudan shares a border with Kenya. Just sayin'...

We should all chip in for this. The description reads:
"Fitting stand to fit just about any size of horns on a sheep or goat, adjustable height, can still use deck for other type of head piece if wishes to."
Why, it's just PERFECT for Ken and his bride!!!!!
