Two recurring posts in my blog are thieves that stick strange things down their pants (shrimp, live lobsters, big bottles of beer, snakes, birds...) and India villagers marrying animals. This story might be the weirdest. An infant boy was married off to his neighbors' dog in eastern India by villagers who said it will stop the groom from being killed by wild animals. The boy grew a weird tooth on his upper gum which is a horrible omen to the people in India. It seems that it makes you extra tasty to tigers. By marrying the dog, the boy will be able to ward off the evil spirits that make him smell yummy to the tigers. The dog was allowed to roam free after the ceremony. Villagers gorged themselves on food and alcohol during the reception. Linda loved this little how to draw a tiger lesson. She is going to practice her tiger sketching.
