LIKE A FRIDAY NIGHT IN ENUMCLAW:

Animal Sacrifices Maim 1,400 in Turkey (AP, 12/31/06)

Over a thousand Turks spent the first day of the Muslim feast of Eid al-Adha in emergency wards on Sunday after stabbing themselves or suffering other injuries while sacrificing startled animals.

At least 1,413 people - referred to as "amateur butchers" by the Turkish media - were treated at hospitals across the country, most suffering cuts to their hands and legs, the Anatolia news agency reported.
