Ya know how in backwards countries you sometimes hear apocryphal news of panics where people are persecuted for practicing witchcraft that makes penises fall off, or makes people sick, or something like that? Backwards primitive places like Oklahoma.
From an entry Elf made today that's got some other good links.

According to wikipedia, the case was dismissed by a court with the judge ordering court costs to be paid by Ms Blackbear's family. Eventually the court costs were forgiven in return for forgoing an appeal. Unbelievable -- apparently charges of witchcraft are reasonable in Ok.

The last imprisonment for witchcraft in Great Britain was during WWII.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
