Goats sacrificed to fix Nepal jet
    #7369934 -

Nepal'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.

I don't know how much longer I'm going to read the 'news'.  Besides, veggie moves all these threads despite the fact that they come from highly regarded news sources :lol:.  No hard feelings veggie.

edit: forgot to include the link, not that it matters since 'it is not news' according to SNS mod >=0

They should have sacrificed the pilots and let god fly the plane.

I'm kinda interested in this whole goat-for-jet engine thing. Is there some sort of table or conversion ratio? I mean how do you convert, say, a car to goats?

Do you sacrifice more goats for a jag than for a chevy? And if you've got a goat remainder, does that carry over to the next sacrafice? What if you have a 1 2/3 goat car? Can you just sacrifice one goat on the third sacrifice? Do goat remainders expire? Someone needs to make a conversion table for sure...

I think America is only a few short Right Wing Christian Republican years away from similar insanity... We should all pray together, and maybe the Twin Towers will magically reappear!

The rules of the News forum are pretty clear, if it's not of any relevance to this site (pretty much if it doesn't pertain to drugs or mycology) it doesn't belong in the News forum, but somewhere like here in the Pub.
