Alpha Posted August 7, 2005 Posted August 7, 2005 NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Catch a stray cow from the hundreds roaming the streets of New Delhi, haul it to a state shelter and you will be given 2,000 rupees ($46) for your pains. The Hindustan Times newspaper said Friday the Delhi High Court had passed an order instructing city authorities to offer money to rid the Indian capital of the cattle menace. An estimated 35,000 cows and buffaloes roam free in the capital, sharing space with hordes of monkeys, camels and stray dogs. Traffic routinely comes to a halt to allow animals to amble across highways, leading to accidents and sometimes deaths. Cows are sacred to Hindus, who make up a bulk of India's billion-plus population, and just a rumor of mistreatment can prompt angry mobs to attack people in revenge. I can probabaly move the monkeys and camels (unless they don't spit or fart at me), but that's about it.

Now you make a fragment (2 word sentence) with periods a billion times in your post? For the sake of mankind, use that $500, AND BUY A DAMN GRAMMAR BOOK!! EDIT: G.C. or GC... what in the BLUE HELL is G`c ?????????
Agozer Posted August 7, 2005 Posted August 7, 2005 Suvo, at least try to save GC from heartburns even once in a while. You're killing him.
suvo Posted August 7, 2005 Posted August 7, 2005 Ahha it's funny because i did that on purpose. I know how to say it, so why didn't I?
Robert Posted August 7, 2005 Posted August 7, 2005 Back on topic now please. It's certainly an easy way to get rich. Why they think cows are sacred is beyond me, but if there's money to be made, why not.
Inky Posted August 7, 2005 Posted August 7, 2005 (edited) 2000 rupees would buy a lot of heart containers and bombs. Edited August 7, 2005 by garageink
Gryph Posted August 7, 2005 Posted August 7, 2005 I remember one time when my grandparents visited us I proposed half-jokingly that India should become a major beef eating and exporting nation to take care of this problem and they gave me this look of horror like I commited unspeakable blasphemy.
Weirdy Posted August 7, 2005 Posted August 7, 2005 I'd be all "ohh sorry, idk what happend. They fell into an industrial grinder and that's the last I know of" *burp*
OverlordMondo Posted August 8, 2005 Posted August 8, 2005 I saw the Master Sword on EBay for just 20000 rupees. That's 10 cows for the Master Sword! Okay, enough Zelda jokes. I'd sure as hell catch cows for 46 dollars, it'd be awesome.
Gryph Posted August 8, 2005 Posted August 8, 2005 That's a hell of a lot of money for people over there.
