Go listen to this. No, it's not a joke -- people are dying for this joke. Thanks to NPR for this report.

It took a long time for it to download for me, I had to open my MS player and then click on it. There are extremists in Iraq killing shepherds because their goats are not diapered, thus inspiring "impure thoughts" in young men. The reporter thought it was all a joke, when he heard a grocer was killed and his store firebombed for "licentious vegetables". But an Iraqi friend told him Imams were handing out sheets telling grocers how to display their veggies so that celery wasn't too close to tomatoes, etc.

Okay. I am starting to be mad at Bush because he hasn't thrown enough manpower at these nuts . . .dear heavens.
