| Nepalese man marries dog to ensure luck -- and then dies |
| 2004-02-04 |
| A 75-year-old man in Nepal married a dog in a local custom to ensure good luck only to die three days later, a newspaper reported. With his son and other relatives by his side, Phulram Chaudhary tied the knot with a dog Saturday in Durgauli village in the southwestern Kailali district. He was following a custom of his Tharu community which holds that an old man who regrows teeth must take a dog as a bride. "He believed that this would help him avoid great misfortune later in life. However, he died a few days afterward," the state-run daily Gorkhapatra said. |

| #6 Everybody knows you have to marry a cat - and only if the cat's willing. It also has to be of age - at least 10! |

| #3 Did he have a pre-nup, or are his heirs now expected to continue providing conjugal services to fido? |

| #2 It was lucky for the dog, especially if there's a nice insurance payout in the mix. |
