A Rose by any other name...
About a year ago my good friend Kevin Burr alerted me about a BBC news story. I'm not kidding on this one. Burr and I died laughing for the next month or two every time we mentioned the article.
Basically a man in Juba, Sudan was caught having "relations" with another man's goat. "What are you doing there?"
