I'm Off For Africa

The King of Swaziland is looking for his umpteenth wife and tens of thousands of topless virgins are vying for his hand by doing The Reed Dance.

This sight of thousands of bare-breasted virgins dancing before their king and his warriors is one of Africa's great traditional spectacles. But the Reed Dance is also a chance for the 37-year-old king to take a wife from more than 20,000 dancers, as he has done every year since 1999.

Here's the full story. The phrase "great traditional spectacles" is an understatement. I'm getting stiff just thinking about it all those young, nubile virgins.
