It's hard to forget Charles Tombe.
Fame may be an increasingly easy ticket to come by in the new global village.
But few have achieved such memorable notoriety as young Charles managed one summer,
in his village, in Southern Sudan. The 'Great Goat Scandal' rocked the
world, and sent a collective shudder around the Internet.
For Mr.Tombe will always be remembered as the man caught having a rather intimate
moment with a goat named Rose, one hot Saturday night. Caught in the act by village
elders, his punishment was equally perverse: they forced him to marry his four legged
consort! But eyewitness accounts soon began to report the two forming a happy, if
unlikely relationship. It was one based on primitive needs.
