Headline from a BBC news article: Goats sacrificed to fix Nepal jet
Nepal's state-run airline has confirmed that it sacrificed two goats to appease a Hindu god, following technical problems with one of its aircraft.
Nepal Airlines said the animals were slaughtered in front of the plane - a Boeing 757 - at Kathmandu airport.
The offering was made to Akash Bhairab, the Hindu god of sky protection, whose symbol is seen on the company's planes.
The airline said that after Sunday's ceremony the plane successfully completed a flight to Hong Kong.
I can hardly wait to head to Katmandu. In other news, the weather forecast for Korea is...RAIN! With rain for 8 of the last 9 days (and that is all day--not scattered showers throughout) on the Korean peninsula and more in the forecast, keep the umbrella handy. The monsoons have hung on quite late this year. But hey, full rivers and green plants abound.
