No, it's not 1 April (yet).
quote: BBC News Online A Sudanese man has been forced to take a goat as his "wife", after he was caught having sex with the animal. The goat's owner, Mr Alifi, said he surprised the man with his goat and took him to a council of elders.
They ordered the man, Mr Tombe, to pay a dowry of 15,000 Sudanese dinars ($50) to Mr Alifi. "We have given him the goat, and as far as we know they are still together," Mr Alifi said.
Mr Alifi, Hai Malakal in Upper Nile State, told the Juba Post newspaper that he heard a loud noise around midnight on 13 February and immediately rushed outside to find Mr Tombe with his goat. "When I asked him: 'What are you doing there?', he fell off the back of the goat, so I captured and tied him up".
Mr Alifi then called elders to decide how to deal with the case "They said I should not take him to the police, but rather let him pay a dowry for my goat because he used it as his wife," Mr Alifi told the newspaper.

quote: Charges against a 36-year-old Yuma man accused of having sex with a goat have been dismissed after he was found to be mentally unfit to stand trial.
Yuma County Superior Court Judge Tom Cole on Tuesday dismissed felony charges of animal cruelty and burglary against Jose Efrain Garcia-Arredondo based upon the results of psychological reports from two mental health experts hired by the court to evaluate the Yuma man.
Both mental health experts agreed that Garcia-Arredondo suffers from a mental illness or disability and is unable to understand the proceedings against him and to assist in his own defense.
Under Arizona law, a person cannot be prosecuted for a crime if they cannot assist in their own defense or don’t understand the charges against them.
Tempe psychologist John Hollebeek, the first mental health expert to evaluate Garcia-Arredondo, filed a report with the court on July 5, indicating that Garcia-Arredondo could be restored to competency within 15 months if an appropriate program for competency restoration were available.
Hollebeek also wrote in his report that Garcia-Arredondo did not pose a significant threat to himself or others and that he did not require institutionalization at the Arizona State Hospital or other facility.
Dr. Jack Potts, a Phoenix psychiatrist who also evaluated Garcia-Arredondo, said in a report filed with the court in August that the Yuma man only has a slight chance of ever regaining mental competency and recommended restrictive restoration in the community.
Cole signed a release order for Garcia-Arredondo, who was being held in the Yuma County jail on $1,769 bond.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, an animal rights organization, sent a plea to the county attorney’s office in April urging that Garcia-Arredondo be vigorously prosecuted.
Garcia-Arredondo was arrested and charged in April with felony charges of animal cruelty and burglary after he was caught allegedly engaging in sexual intercourse with an 8-year-old brown female Nubian goat in a pen behind a home located west of Yuma.
According to court records, the owners of the goat previously suspected that someone was entering the pen and having sex with their goats after they found a piece of tape sticking to one of the goats’ muzzles.
The goat’s owners allegedly caught Garcia-Arredondo in the act after he tripped an alarm they set up to go off inside their home whenever someone entered the pen.
The owners, according to court records, kept Garcia-Arredondo in the stall until deputies arrived and arrested him.
