NEW DELHI - A girl in eastern India has been married to a dog in a bid to ward off tigers, a report says.

The tribal wedding took place to the beating of drums in a slum on the outskirts of Orissa state capital Bhubaneswar, the Press Trust of India news agency said quoting witnesses.

Local people said the girl had developed abnormalities in her teeth which made her prone to "being devoured by a tiger".

The tribal ritual is believed to rid her of the danger, they said.

Hmm I've got a necklace here with magical Tiger warding powers. In 23 years of wearing it I've never been attacked by a tiger. I wonder if she's interested.

They should use the fighter jets we sold them to ward off the tigers...probably more effective.

In spite of the best efforts of post-modernists to deny it, there is a genuine difference between reason and superstition.
