Girl Weds Dog to Ward Off 'Evil Eye'

NEW DELHI -- A 7-year-old girl wed a stray dog as part of a ritual to ward off the "evil eye" on her and her family in eastern India, a news agency reported Wednesday.

Shivam Munda's upper teeth appeared before her lower teeth -- considered a bad omen by members of the Santhal ethnic group to which she belongs, the Press Trust of India said in a report from Dhanbad, a coal mining town in the eastern state of Bihar.

Kundan Munda, a coal mine worker, said his daughter married the dog only to "remove the evil eye," a superstitious belief that some misfortune could befall her and the family, and that she would be free to marry a man later.

Friends and family participated in three days of traditional ceremonies and festivities that are part of a Santhal tribal marriage, Munda said, according to the report.

Alright Loky.........I dont know what you do for a living, but then need to keep you more busy :biggrin:

:lol:

This is part of my job :biggrin:

Right now (among other things)... I'm a show producer for several shows at a Talk Radio Station... I need to find intereting/stupid stories for one of the hosts... hence I get to spend a few hours just surfing the net :biggrin:

I got rid of Verizon last week so I don't have a camera phone anymore... she may notice if I pull out a normal camera... maybe I'll ask her if she'll mind posing for a picture... but then again.... maybe not a good idea :)

Perhaps this belongs on the 'pickup lines' thread, but how about this?:

"My message board friends don't believe that you're as smokin' hot as I claim - mind if I prove them wrong? Also, we have this forum called the 'Romper Room'...."

:wink:
