Of course, when you think of Saudi Arabia you think of a wondrous, mystical land of adventure and magic; and you’d be right:

Saudi authorities have executed a woman convicted of practicing magic and sorcery.

The Saudi Interior Ministry says in a statement the execution took place Monday, but gave no details on the woman’s crime.

The London-based al-Hayat daily, however, quoted Abdullah al-Mohsen, chief of the religious police who arrested the woman, as saying she had tricked people into thinking she could treat illnesses, charging them $800 per session. (sfgate)

How awesome is this! Not that a woman was murdered by her government, but that they believe in magic. And they’re adults. It would be like playing Harry Potter with my friends outside the doughnut shop on Friday nights, but for reals, and all day, every day. It’s like never having to grow up; a real life Neverland that Saudi Arabia.

I wonder if you could get out of jam there by flicking on a lighter… He makes fire from small box, he must be a very powerful wizard.
