A man in southern India married a female dog in a traditional Hindu ceremony as an attempt to atone for stoning two other dogs to death — an act he believes cursed him — a newspaper reported Tuesday.
P. Selvakumar married the sari-draped former stray named Selvi, chosen by family members and then bathed and clothed for the ceremony Sunday at a Hindu temple in the southern state of Tamil Nadu, the Hindustan Times newspaper said.

Hi Colin,
well, I can't help but make one comment... I hear that his mother in law is a REAL bitch :)
OK, one more comment... if we took this "marry the creature you've harmed as a way of atoning for past sins" concept to its logical conclusion, we'd probably all be married to the land here - very New Age-y. And John Winston Howard would be married to all of us.
Something to ponder.
Cheers, Andrew
I laughed on Insiders yesterday. They had the cartoon segment with a great cartoon of John Winston Howard with a Sandwich Board with "Free Hugs". I thought it picked up perfectly the desperation in his situation. The man who could only walk on water, bogged down in political shit.
