ASIR, 16 August 2006 — A teenager here found a new smoking buddy: A baby goat, the Okaz daily reported yesterday. The teen hooked the kid onto nicotine after the teen would go out to the shed adjoining the house to sneak cigarettes from his mother. At first, the kid was repelled by the cigarette smoke, but eventually developed a liking to tobacco. The baby goat began eating the butts. Now the kid shows signs of irritability and impatience if it is unable to feed its addiction.
Headlights Light Up Marriage Ceremony
MAKKAH, 16 August 2006 — Darkness did not dampen the spirits of the bridegroom during a power outage as the wedding reception was in full swing, the Al-Madinah newspaper reported yesterday. Dinner was about to be served and both hosts and guests were plunged into darkness and utter confusion. Suddenly the bridegroom had an idea. He groped his way to his car parked nearby and turned on the headlights of his car. Following his cue, several others did the same and flooded the area in light to resume the festivities.
