KATHMANDU (Reuters) - Officials at Nepal's state-run airline have
sacrificed two goats to appease Akash Bhairab, the Hindu sky god,
following technical problems with one of its Boeing 757 aircraft, the
carrier said Tuesday.

I wonder what the Boeing service manual says about this?

Maybe it specifies, size, weight, sex, and color of goat? G

There cannot be any sacrificing of unapproved goats!

I used to work for Boeing. Two goats is adequate for a non-mission
critical component. For any equipment that takes you below the MEL
(Minimum Equipment List), the sacrifice of a virgin is
required... :-)

Good luck finding one of those in Washington State! If we could, Mt. St.

depends on who or what you worship - a lot worse has been sacrificed in the
name of money.

We haven't had any eruptions lately. I think they sacrificed one of
Branson's planes to it.
