Airline sacrifices goats to appease "sky god"

Having problems with your 757? Don't bother trying to have your mechanics fix it - just make a sacrifice to the sky god.

After all, the 757 is pretty new - anything wrong with it has to be the work of the gods, and not a technical fault, right? And Nepal Airlines only has two 757s, so they can't afford to have them out of service, right?

The carrier said Tuesday that they sacrificed two goats to appease Akash Bhairab, the Hindu sky god, following technical problems with one of its Boeing 757 aircraft.

I'm speechless, and my wife, who has enough trouble flying on a major carrier, said she would never fly on an airline that depends n sacrifices to keep their airplanes from falling out of the sky.
