... and god is my co-pilot

Airline sacrifices goats to appease sky god
Nepal's state-run carrier makes offering after technical problems with 757



KATHMANDU (Reuters) - Officials at Nepal's state-run airline have sacrificed two goats to appease Akash Bhairab, the Hindu sky god, following technical problems with one of its Boeing 757 aircraft, the carrier said Tuesday.

Nepal Airlines, which has two Boeing aircraft, has had to suspend some services in recent weeks due to the problem.

The goats were sacrificed in front of the troublesome aircraft Sunday at Nepal's only international airport in Kathmandu in accordance with Hindu traditions, an official said.

No ... I'm not kidding. You can't make this stuff up.

Maybe a couple well wrung chicken necks will put the sub-prime market back together? Eric, John, are you getting this?!?!? Get naked, start dancing and wring them chicken necks!!!

Any one want to play virgins and volcanoes?
