Guest guest Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Animal sacrifice? what year is this? Goats sacrificed to fix Nepal jet A goat offering is a holy act for Hindu devoteesNepal's state-run airline has confirmed that it sacrificed two goats to appease a Hindu god, following technical problems with one of its aircraft. Nepal Airlines said the animals were slaughtered in front of the plane - a Boeing 757 - at Kathmandu airport. The offering was made to Akash Bhairab, the Hindu god of sky protection, whose symbol is seen on the company's planes. The airline said that after Sunday's ceremony the plane successfully completed a flight to Hong Kong. "The snag in the plane has now been fixed and the aircraft has resumed its flights," senior airline official Raju KC was quoted as saying by Reuters. Nepal Airlines has two Boeing aircraft in its fleet. The persistent faults with one of the planes had led to the postponement of a number of flights in recent weeks. The company has not said what the problem was, but reports in local media have blamed an electrical fault. Peter H Answers - Get better answers from someone who knows. Try it now.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 slowly... torn muscles just take forever *pout* i have hematoma in my right leg now, because my swollen muscles are pressing on blood vessels there, and causing blood to back up....not to mention the nerve damage wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee fraggle heartwerk Sep 5, 2007 11:38 PM Re: Goats sacrificed to fix Nepal jet Hi FraggleHow's your injuries mending?Jo I never thought about the universe, it made me feel small Never thought about the problems of this planet at all Global warming, radio-active sites Imperialistic wrongs and animal rights! No! Why think of all the bad things when life is so good? Why help with an 'am' when there's always a 'could'? Let the whales worry about the poisons in the sea Outside of California, it's foreign policy I don't want changes, I have no reactions Your dilemmas are my distractions I never looked around, never second-guessed Then I read some Howard Zinn now I'm always depressed And now I can't sleep from years of apathy All because I read a little Noam Chomsky I'm eating vegetation, 'cause of Fast Food Nation I'm wearing uncomfortable shoes 'cause of globalization I'm watching Michael Moore expose the awful truth I'm listening to Public Enemy and Reagan Youth I see no world peace 'cause of zealous armed forces I eat no breath-mints 'cause they're from de-hoofed horses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
