Heavy Petting Anyone?

I thought my wife was joking about a story of a little Indian girl forced to marry a dog in India about a month ago. After a short search, I found it on the Times of India and the BBC websites.

No urban myths here. Nope, just cold, hard, facts. Which set me to thinking...have other people married other animals in the past? Why, yes! Funny you should ask!

Like this story of a British woman (apparently rich and nutty) marrying a dolphin

Or this: Sudanese man forced to marry a goat after he was caught being more than just a good shepherd. The source for this bit of news is none other than the BBC -- so you know it's true.

An even funnier follow up to the goat marriage story was the untimely death of "Rose" the Sudanese goat...who died on May 4, 2007.

And lastly, back to India: Where a woman was reportedly married to a cobra after falling in love with it in 2006. I'm guessing that the woman died on her honeymoon.
