REASON ENOUGH TO BURN THEM:
Witchcraft blamed as man grows genital organ on face (Japhet Dube, 24 Aug 2004, Newzimbabwe.com)
IN a bizarre incident, a Bulawayo man allegedly developed a female genital organ on the right side of his face stretching up to the chest in what is suspected to be a case of witchcraft.Posted by Orrin Judd at August 28, 2004 6:55 AM
Mr. Judd;
He's got other problems if his chest is up from the right side of his face.
Posted by: Annoying Old Guy at August 28, 2004 12:35 PMThis is exactly what gets "witches" killed, superstition mixed with an unusual occurrence.
Dr. Jimmy Gazi has a more credible explanation, at the end of the linked article.
As pointed out on 'Bewitched', if witches actually had all of the powers attributed to them, why wouldn't they just kill their victims ?

VILLAGER TWO: "She turned me into a next!" (pause) "I got better."
VILLAGER ONE: "Burn her anyway!"

If I decide I own the Statue of Liberty, can I charge you admission to it?

You can try--I suspect you'll be carted away by TSA--very much to the point.
