  Nepalese man marries dog AFP - A 75-year-old man in Nepal married a dog in a local custom to ensure good luck only to die three days later, a newspaper reported. With his son and other relatives by his side, Phulram Chaudhary tied the knot with a dog on Saturday in Durgauli village in the southwestern Kailali district. He was following a custom of his Tharu community which holds that an old man who regrows teeth must take a dog as a bride. "He believed that this would help him avoid great misfortune later in life. However, he died a few days afterward," the state-run daily Gorkhapatra said. ©AAP 2004 What can you say??!!!

  Well, I suppose if he referred to his new bride as a "bitch", nobody would be too offended.

  at the thought of it though....
