Headline of the Day: India Villagers Marry Off 2 Donkeys
NEW DELHI, India (AP) - The drought-plagued residents of a small village in southern India organized a ceremonial wedding for two donkeys to appease the Hindu god of rain, a news report said Thursday. Dressed up like a bride and groom, the donkeys were escorted to a temple in the village of Sakkayanayakanur in Tamil Nadu state on Wednesday. It was not reported where the honeymoon was to be spent.

Today in History:

1756 In Calcutta, 146 British prisoners are placed in a 18 foot by 14 foot cell known as "The Black Hole" by a Bengali, Siraj-ud-daula, and held there until the following morning. Of those imprisoned, 23 survived.

1893 Lizzie Borden is found innocent of giving her stepmother and father forty whacks and forty one whacks, respectively.

1993 Deputy White House Counsel Vince Foster commits suicide by pistol at Fort Marcy Park in Virginia. Bushmoonies everywhere experience orgasm, probably for the first time in their sad, pathetic little lives.
