Hold Your Horses

2007 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Darwin says, "Hesitantly accepted into the archive. Too common?"
ORIGINAL SUBMISSION:

iol.co.za

Phnom Penh - An unsuccessful sexual advance by an elderly Cambodian man on a young heifer ended badly when the bovine fought back, kicking him to death, local media quoted police and villagers as saying on Thursday.

Khmer-language daily Kampuchea Thmey quoted authorities as saying that Ta Sam, 67, of south-western Svay Rieng province had been divorced for just 10 days when his urges apparently overcame him in the middle of the night with tragic consequences.

Sounds of a scuffle caused the man's grandson to investigate, whereupon he found Sam's naked body lying under the family's frightened cow with injuries to his head and genital area consistent with being kicked by the beast, the paper reported.

Police concluded he died in a rape attempt gone wrong, the paper said.

The paper quoted villagers as saying Sam had been divorced twice, with both wives citing his insatiable desires as the cause.

It added that police did not expect to take any action against the cow, which was not named, as she appeared to have been acting in self defence.

Even though there's not much in this story which could be construed as Darwinian (DWI is too common), it is an amusing story and the fact that you know this fellow allows me to sneak this one in through the back door as a PA (in which capacity I like it)! "New York's Bravest" generally do a bang-up job, but occasionally an "8-Ball" slips through the cracks, and they usually wind up making headline news! I wonder WHAT he was drinking! Thanks, Shane!
