A Sudanese man has been forced to take a goat as his "wife", after he was caught having sex with the animal.

The goat's owner, Mr Alifi, said he surprised the man with his goat and took him to a council of elders.

They ordered the man, Mr Tombe, to pay a dowry of 15,000 Sudanese dinars ($50) to Mr Alifi.

"We have given him the goat, and as far as we know they are still together," Mr Alifi said.

Mr Alifi, Hai Malakal in Upper Nile State, told the Juba Post newspaper that he heard a loud noise around midnight on 13 February and immediately rushed outside to find Mr Tombe with his goat.

"When I asked him: 'What are you doing there?', he fell off the back of the goat, so I captured and tied him up".

Mr Alifi then called elders to decide how to deal with the case.

"They said I should not take him to the police, but rather let him pay a dowry for my goat because he used it as his wife," Mr Alifi told the newspaper.

No explanation needed. Just the correct sex education.

They don't kid around over there

Back in '03, shortly after we arrived in Kabul, a couple of the lads were manning an OP (Observation Post), using Thermal Night Vision scopes to scan the area.

They saw some unusual activity and managed to hook a digital camera up to the scope to record this strange activity.

What they recorded (and showed most of the camp later) was 2 Afghani guys violating a dog. One would hold the dog's head while the other buggered it, then they switched places.

Maybe they had heard the old AC-DC song "Giving the dog a bone" and took it literally ?
