Gushue wins GOLD!

Kick ass! I only managed to catch the first end this morning. The Fins looked sharp during that first end while Gushue failed to curl around a guard for a take out. I was a little nervous but felt awesome when I found out that we won after 320.

Edit:
Wow! I just saw the CBC recap of the match. Amazing shot by Mark Nichols at the 6th end; even more amazing than Jones' winning shot at the Scott Tournament of Hearts. I was teary when Gushue was phoning his mom after the Fins conceded. Best moment of Torino 2006. Canada is proud of you Brad!!!

Sudan man forced to 'marry' goat

A Sudanese man has been forced to take a goat as his "wife", after he was caught having sex with the animal.

The goat's owner, Mr Alifi, said he surprised the man with his goat and took him to a council of elders.

They ordered the man, Mr Tombe, to pay a dowry of 15,000 Sudanese dinars ($50) to Mr Alifi.

"We have given him the goat, and as far as we know they are still together," Mr Alifi said.

Mr Alifi, Hai Malakal in Upper Nile State, told the Juba Post newspaper that he heard a loud noise around midnight on 13 February and immediately rushed outside to find Mr Tombe with his goat.

"When I asked him: 'What are you doing there?', he fell off the back of the goat, so I captured and tied him up". Mr Alifi then called elders to decide how to deal with the case.

"They said I should not take him to the police, but rather let him pay a dowry for my goat because he used it as his wife," Mr Alifi told the newspaper.

LOL can you say DESPERATE!?!?!
