An Indian man thought he was cursed by dogs, so naturally, he married one. I'm not kidding.
P Selvakumar, 33, from the Sivaganga district of India, was convinced that he had been cursed ever since he stoned two dogs to death (I don't know if he was, but he should have been). So, the Michael Vick of India decided the best idea was to marry a female dog to break the curse.
I don't know which idea was worse, stoning the other dogs to death or marrying the third to atone for it. Let's all hope he doesn't try to consummate the marriage. But since he has suffered paralysis and deafness due to his "curse" he might not be able to find or get a handle on his new bride.
I give Islam and Christianity a lot of grief for their nonsensical rules, but this takes the cake. Many people in this largely Hindu state attended the ceremony and cheered. They apparently thought Selvakumar was on to something when he came up with the brilliant idea of marrying the dog. After all, a local Hindu astrologer had suggested it. Well, then you really can't go wrong, can you?
At least, Selvakumar won't be offending anyone when he says, "Man, I married a real bitch!"

17. What a load of lardyda! The man marrying the dog is disgusting and the rest of the comments that dont even concern this topic are all opinions. Life does not run on opinions. It runs by the free masaons aka george bush and evil America. This dog act is another issue that makes us realise what a sick world we live in and if you believe in life after death then u will knw theres not much life left. People tampering with nature is beyond disgraceful!! Watch the Illuminati to know the real world and who runs the show. Adios

18. Somber:
In the beginning (oops, a Biblical phrase), this thread was about a man who married a dog, but, as is usually the case in forums, someone will tangentially go off on religion.
I have not checked the statistics on how *often* the Christian groups are trying to ban certain groups in high schools, but I will grant you it happens not only in high schools, but in universities as well. However, have either conveniently forgotten or chosen to ignore there is a proliferation of atheistic groups, all of which are backed by the ACLU, NAMBLA as well as GLBT, who work as tirelessly and as diligently against Christianity, even to the point of successfully bringing about the desuetude of the words "Merry Christmas," "Happy Hanukkah," in favor of the words "Happy Holidays." There are no creches displayed in any public places, no menorahs, or anything suggesting God. On the newly-minted dollar,
the words "In God We Trust" are blatantly absent. Your girlfriend must feel the effects of these persecutions as much as you feel persecuted for your belief. I think it's safe to say we are no longer free to worship as we please, though I still hold that religion, when practiced without fundamental hysteria, is not bad for society.
The latest atheistic wonder of the world is Philip Pullman; the short form of his agenda is his hatred of Christianity, God, C.S. Lewis and all forms of Christianity. If you aren't already familiar with his iconoclastic ideologies, you can Google him and get all the information you desire.
Regarding our religions being forced upon those in the Middle East, not so. What is so, and what the terrorists have stated (Google), is for there to be peace in the world, we must all convert to Islam.
I ain't gonna do that - :) I'm going to continue worship as I please, say Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, or any other form of holiday greeting which honors God, display my creche, and respect the rights of others to *not* to feel as I do.
That all being said, I wish you and your girlfriend the very best and hope your relationship continues to grow in love, peace and understanding - cuz that's what it's all about, isn't it?
