Paris Hilton has turned her attention to the plight of drunken elephants in India.
“The elephants get drunk all the time. It is becoming really dangerous. We need to stop making alcohol available to them,” the 26-year-old socialite was quoted as saying.
Sangeeta Goswami, head of animal rights group People for Animals, told The Associated Press: “I am indeed happy Hilton has taken note of recent incidents of wild elephants in northeast India going berserk.”
Hilton’s publicist, Lori Berk, couldn’t immediately be reached yesterday to verify her comments, but now she’s denying it.
A 33-year-old man in Sivaganga district of Tamil Nadu has married a dog in a bid to ward off the “curse” of a canine couple he had killed 15 years ago. Selva Kumar tied a ‘mangal sutra’ on the pet named Selvi, at a Ganesh temple in Manamadurai yesterday.
The 10-year-old saree-clad “bride” was brought to the temple in a grand bridal procession. After the function, the bride was feasted with bread. Kumar, who vowed to protect Selvi all through its life, said he married the animal as per the advice of an astrologer. “I will take care of it till its death.”
According to Kumar, when he was 18-years-old, he had clubbed to death a dog-couple when they were mating and hung them on a tree.
After the incident, he suffered a stroke and could not move his left arm and legs and also turned deaf. He now walks with the help of a stick.
Appearantly long hard thick sausage are legal in Dubai, but sex toys aren’t. A Dubai man dropped some sausages off at a butcher ship in Berlin, Germany and asked them to wrap them, cool them and hold onto them as he was planning on flying to Dubai the following day. But a watchful employee noticed that the sausages seemed a little too heavy. The butcher shop promptly contacted the police for fear there might be something hidden inside the enourmous weiners. How right they were.It’s really quite funny, I guess sex toys are illegal in Dubai so people have to smuggle them in. I wonder what the punishment there is for unlawful possesion of a dildo! Talk about repression!!!!!
