JINJA, Uganda - Caroline Aya was playing in front of her house in January when a neighbor put a cloth over her mouth and fled with her. A couple of days later, the 8-year-old's body was found a short walk away — with her tongue cut out. Police believe she was offered up as a human sacrifice in a ritual killing, thought to bring wealth or health. "If it is a sickness you try to treat it, and if they die that is one thing," said Caroline's father, Balluonzima Christ. "But when you slaughter a person like a goat, that is not easy." The practice of human sacrifice is on the rise in Uganda, as measured by ritual killings where body parts, often facial features or genitals, are cut off for use in ceremonies.

Thanks, null! I’ll have a great sleep tonight. Which part of S&M do you think this darling (boy/girl) is? Definitely colorful . . .

And now you know why some tribal Africans have such unique and bizarre body modifications. Some may have been for decorations (tattoos, scarring, etc) but those lip chips and the massive ear lobe stretching, etc...were to make them look unattractive to enemies.

And slavers.

FWIW, there is a FReeper I call virtually every night to wish ‘sweet dreams’...
