                   Does this count as bigamy?

Images of a citizen who put a bridal veil and a two-meter gold
chain on a snow-bride he made in Bursa, broke view records on
social media.  Ertan K., the father of one child, who wore a groom's
outfit, gave his frigid (!) bride the gold chain as a 'yuz gorumlugu'
(jewelry given by a bridegroom to his bride after he has unveiled
her and seen her face for the first time.)

Passers-by cheered as the 'wedding' was acted out and Ertan K.
made sure to kiss the bride.  Unable to go to work because of
half a meter of snow, Ertan K. instead made the nearly two-meter
snow-bride, complet with bridal veil.


The happy couple will honeymoon in Novosibirsk.

Cave-man hospitality for unexpected guests.

In Antalya's Kemer district, Cemal Ertugrul (45), fed up with his bad
luck,  began living by himself in a mountain cave.  He was found by
accident by the Gendarmerie and has been settled in a hotel by the
district chief's office. Explaining himself, Ertugrul said "if this is the
way society is, I'd rather live with real animals than the two-legged
kind. I've been living this way for 8 months.'

A Gendarmerie team was making a routine check of the Tekirova
Mahallesi Phaselis SIT (protected land) area when they found Ertugrul
living by himself in a cave on the edge of a remote 60-meter cliff.
Gendarmerie District Commander Captain Yasin Bercin ordered that
Ertugrul have a health check, which he passed with flying colors.


            Location, location, location.

Ertugrul explained that he had lost faith in mankind and settled in the
cave 8 months ago. He said that he obtained food from a bakery in
Tekirova hamlet and other victuals from good-hearted people. Ertugrul
came to Kemer from Ayvacik, Canakkale province, where he had
worked in a factory.

The Kemer acting district chief, Halil Serdar Cevheroglu, had Erturgul
settled in a hotel after his health check-up and a job will be found for
him, as well.
