Okay, enough about Sasha Cohen. I promise.

Thanks to the good folks at National Journal's "The Hotline" there's this little gem for a Friday afternoon: According to the BBC, a Sudanese man was forced to marry a goat "after he was caught having sex with the animal." Seriously. The story is HERE. Apparently the village "elders" forced the guy to pay a $50 dowry for the goat, and according to the elder: "We have given him the goat, and as far as we know they are still together." Awww.

I just love it: I can't marry my girlfriend here in America, but some pervert in Sudan can marry a goat. Fabulous.
