And on a related note

Somehow, this sort of thing keeps happening. Weird stories seem to come in groups.

Close on the heels of the previous post about San Francisco experimenting with turning dog feces into electricity comes this item:

A 7-year old girl in India has ritually married a stray dog in a ceremony designed to ward off the evil eye. They say she will be able to marry a man in the normal fashion later on.

Frankly, I don't believe the "evil eye" story. I think they heard about the San Francisco program and decided to begin cornering the Indian Market in dog feces futures. There will likely be a brisk trade in those in coming years as the program takes off. They are positioning the family to be the Standard Oil of dog poo.

Go ahead, poo-poo my theory.
