The Worlds Lonliest Pig

Finally this week, two stories from the lands of education and enlightenment.

In Saudi Arabia, a family is taking a "genie" (Djinn) to court, accusing it of theft and harassment, reports say. A local court says it is trying to verify the truthfulness of the claims "despite the difficulty" of doing so. Mind you, Christians believe in Angels, so little difference.
 
And in another bastion of the rational, Afghanistan had been quarantining its one and only pig (given as an ignorant gift by China, who ignored Islamic sensibilities), but now, apparently, its been released from quarantine.
 
According to the director of the Zoo, Aziz Gul Saqib, "Our people did not understand that the disease only passes from person to person, and felt that the swine influenza might even be spread from the zoo because we have a pig here."

Still the worlds loneliest pig is not completely in the clear, the unenlightened visitors at the zoo indicate its likely fate if the Taliban ever get near it.

"It's a pig, it's the dirtiest thing, it might give me a disease," said one visitor, 17-year-old-Razaa, who covered his nose and mouth with his t-shirt, as the animal trotted past. "It is very haram (forbidden) and should not even been looked at. I don't think it should even be in the zoo," said another visitor named Nassim. Of course the pig was cleaner than both of those brainwashed idiots, who no doubt aspire to a life in the West.

The last lot of animals in Kabul Zoo were eradicated by the Taliban, partly for food, and partly for enjoyment (such as killing the only elephant).
