Russian Farmer Asks PutinÂ’s Permission to Marry Cow
2006-07-11
A young Russian farmer from the small village in the Kemerovo region (South Siberia) has asked President Vladimir Putin to allow him to marry a cow, the Komsomolskaya Pravda daily reported Monday.

“All girls have left our small village and moved to the city, so I cannot find a woman to be with. But I see the solution to the problem. I love animals very much and want to ask you when it will be allowed in Russia, as it is in Holland, to marry domestic animals?” his question to Putin reads.

On the cud-ing edge of societal evolution, or an udder travesty? We report, you deride.

#5  Add another to the list of things I didn't used to know (the one not nearly as long as the list of things I still don't know, or the presumably even longer list from which this item came of things I didn't even know existed to be known about).

#4  if it hasn't occurred to him to wander over to the pub in the next village

In rural Russia? I'd suspect he'd be beaten to a pulp by the local boys if he pulled a stunt like that. You just don't go to the village next door searching for women, unless you come with friends and you can overpower the local competition in that village. Village Survival 101.

#3  Is he right about Holland? Can you marry a domestic animal there? Are the Dutch really that tolerant? Is this guy a nut or what?

#2  Moooooooooove along - nothing to see here.

Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?

#1  Ick. Although if it hasn't occurred to him to wander over to the pub in the next village (the one that still has some girls left), perhaps he and his lovely cow are well suited to one another.
