Maybe Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania wasn't the best place to hold the recently concluded Anglican Primates' Meeting, what with the local populace all freaked out about a sex-maniac demon bat that attacks only men and all. Actually, the ultra-conservatives bishops here at home seem to be all freaked out about sex-maniac demon bats all the time, which is pretty self-centered of them if you ask me. I mean, they assume that sex-maniac demon bats are interested in older white males with a penchant for purple and a "thing" for Biblical authority.
Phew! At least our PB ++Katherine was immune. Good thing, too.
BBC NEWS | Africa | Sex attacks blamed on bat demon
Men in parts of Tanzania's main city, Dar es Salaam, are living in fear of a night-time sex attacker.
A BBC correspondent says the attacks are being blamed by some on a demon called "Popo Bawa" meaning winged bat.
Some men are staying awake or sleeping in groups outside their homes. Others are smearing themselves with pig's oil, believing this repels attacks.
Hmm. No, I'm not going to stoop to such an obvious joke. But it begs the question: were the Akinolites sleeping inside, or outside that week?
