Man, that's weird

A column by Jim Bennett - Arrow Staff

Goat pushes man over the edge

   Waheeb Hamoudah, a 56-year-old Egyptian tax evasion specialist for the local police department, was pushed to his death by a sheep as he was preparing for Eid al-Adha, the Muslim feast of sacrifice. Hamoudah was keeping a sheep he was to sacrifice on the roof of his house, and while on a venture to feed the animal, the sheep head-butted him off the roof and onto the street below.

Two die in 'beastly' dispute

   In the Northern Province village of Rustenburg in South Africa, the Xhosa and Shagan tribes were locked in a beastly battle over a goat. You read right- one single goat. Two men were actually killed in the bloody dispute, and 23 huts in the village were destroyed. Tensions between the two tribes had been mounting, and the alleged theft of the goat was apparently the last straw.

Woman kills husband with fatal punch

   A 43- year- old Cairo, Egypt, woman struck her husband, following a simple verbal quarrel, which rendered the man fatally incapacitated. When asked about his death by a health inspector, the woman said that her husband died of natural causes related to his bout with diabetes. When police received reports that neighbors had heard shouting before the man's death, they exhumed the body, and found that part of the nosebone had pierced the man's brain. The woman was detained and is standing trial for his murder.
