As is my custom, I was checking out the News of the Odd section on ol' Yahoo, which might as well just be called "Don't Visit India Ever Ever Ever" section. It seems like a good solid majority of the crazy shit that happens in the world happens in India.

We've got Richard Gere getting burned in effigy. (And not for his performance in Somersby, which was, in my view, a bit forced).

We've got a bride deciding her fiancee is too drunk at the ceremony and marrying his brother. (Vinny better watch his back on this one come November).

And how about a side order of a guy getting beheaded for not milking his cow?

And that's just the stuff from the Indian tourism board website. Hoo ah.

Yup. That's what I've got for you this morning. Disparaging an entire culture based on 6 paragraphs on the internet. I rule.

She married his brother, not her brother.

Still weird though.

"Hey, you're too drunk right now, so I'm marrying your brother instead. Sorry."

I could see this going down in my family.

If anything, we'd both be too falling-down drunk and she'd end up marrying Balls (who will naturally be at *my* wedding).

I also obviously shouldn't attempt to be witty before my first cup of coffee, which you'd think I'd have had by noon.

Thanks for opening my eyes to this news feed. The top headline right now: "Confused by your neighbors? Then Ask a Mexican!"

1) "Hi Balls" is still displayed on rainy days in my back window thanks to you. A penis shows up sometimes as well. I can't bring myself to windex either off.

2) You think Balls will be sober enough to marry the chick? Dave better be suited up!

I'm not responsible for the penis, am I?

No I didn't. I was never one for drawing genitals, and now, as a man in his late forties, I would never stoop to something so puerile. I think Tony added it. Or Big Phil.
