Charmed woman marries cobra in India

BHUBANESWAR, India (AFP) - A woman who fell in love with a snake has married the reptile at a traditional Hindu wedding celebrated by 2,000 guests in India's Orissa state, reports said.

Bimbala Das wore a silk saree for the ceremony Wednesday at Atala village near the Orissa state capital Bhubaneswar.

Priests chanted mantras to seal the union, but the snake failed to come out of a nearby ant hill where it lives, the Press Trust of India (PTI) said on Friday.

A brass replica snake stood in for the hesitant groom.

Haha. :p

I'm a cat person myself (but no plans to marry any felines) :p

There IS, IMO, a deeper reason to her marrying the said serpentile reptile I am SURE....

After all there IS an old saying .. Never eat a cucumber in the house of a woman who lives all alone......if ya know what I mean.............................:eek3:

India has the most different religions in the world, they worship, cows, wood, rocks,sticks,snakes,monkeys, etc

hehe... guess the snake has longer tail than anyone she knew :)

Now Keylia, there is one thing about men that trumps all of those things about dogs collectively: men can legally have sex with women.
Well, zoophilia is illegal, as it should be. Buggery of that kind is just wrong.

For those that don't know:
Buggery=sodomy.
Sodomy pretty much includes anything that is not non-vaginal sex.

Pffft. Who needs sex?
