Ok, so I have two topics of conversation, both completely different, so I'm going to do them both in one thread.

1.) - http://uk.news.yahoo.com/afp/20071114/t ... b4f_1.html

CHENNAI, India (AFP) - An Indian farmer has married his dog in a bid to overcome what he believes is a curse caused by him having stoned to death two mating dogs in his rice field, press reports said.

The 34-year-old farmer, identified as Selvakumar from Sivaganga district in the southern state of Tamil Nadu, fell on bad fortune 15 years ago after killing the dogs and hanging their carcasses from a tree.

A few days later, his hearing and speech were impaired and he was unable to walk.

Doctors were clueless, but an astrologer finally told him he was cursed by the spirits of the dogs he had killed. He could undo the curse only if he married a dog and live with it, the soothsayer said.

After a long search for a 'suitable bride', Selvakumar managed to get a four-year-old mongrel bitch from a friend and had a fully-fledged Hindu wedding in front of villagers and elders on Sunday, eyewitnesses said.

I love that, 'after a long search... was he actually being fussy? did he end up finding that dog and thinking "thats her, she's the one for me!"

2.) - Any of you guys use Google Earth? If so, did you know pressing Ctrl-Alt-A after its loaded brings up a flight sim?
I can't get it to work tho, can someone try it and see what its like?

1. If he stoned two dogs to death, curse or not (which is actually bollocks, I'm sure), he deserves everything coming to him.
2. I've not used Google Earth for a long time and I didn't know that. I don't have it installed at home or work any more, I don't think.
