Like I said...

The Universe has gone all scatological tonight. Again.

This time it's the Koran in the bathroom trick.

Saudi executes Egyptian for practising "witchcraft"

The Saudi Press Agency said Mustafa Ibrahim was put to death in Riyadh in a controversial case which has drawn criticism from rights activists. It said Ibrahim had been accused by another foreign resident of practicing magic in order to separate him from his wife and said evidence had been found in his home, including books on black magic, a candle with an incantation "to summon devils" and "foul-smelling herbs".

"He confessed to adultery with a woman and desecrating the Koran by placing it in the bathroom," the agency said.

Off to buy a Koran for some light reading. In a Gaza lagoon. Still ick.
