Coo-coo Grandma likes lunch better than grandson

When my Mom and Grandma were cooking up Thanksgiving dinner they would always tell everyone to get their fingers out of the food and get out of the kitchen. Compared to this kid, I guess I was lucky that was all they did!

Fingers of Grandson Chopped Off in Meal Spat

NAIROBI, Kenya (Reuters) - A Kenyan woman who caught her grandson eating her fish doused the boy in gasoline, set fire to him and then chopped off his fingers, a newspaper said on Friday.

The Kenya Times said the 46-year-old woman had returned home to find the boy eating the fish she had prepared for lunch. In a fury, she began to cane the boy and then tied his hands together with dry grass before setting fire to him.

``(The boy) writhed in pain as tongues of fire licked his flesh,'' the paper said. ``The enraged woman stood by shouting obscenities. As if not satisfied with her bestial act, the woman took up a panga (machete) and chopped off the victim's four fingers.''

The woman was later arrested and the boy, whose age is unknown, was admitted to hospital in a serious condition.

My guess is that it was one of the debunkers. They were so wrong about y2k that they have to resort to this type of behavior.

Apparently, parents [and Granparents] can still punish their children in Kenya.

One thing puzzles me.

As if not satisfied with her bestial act, the woman took up a panga (machete) and chopped off the victim's four fingers.

I have a number of friends from Kenya, and they all have more than four fingers :^)

Maybe this wasn't the first time.

Z, guess she only chopped the hand that stole the fish, not both of them. Maybe she felt a little sorry for him since he was already burning up. :-)
