Considering that Pat Robertson is buddies with Charles Taylor, your description of him may be correct, except that the story doesn't say he was beaten to death.

I think you meant this one (http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/10/09/gambia.penis.reut/index.html).

You are right! I've changed the link....

Reports of penis snatching are not uncommon in West Africa, with purported victims claiming that alleged sorcerers simply touched them to make their genitals shrink or disappear in order to extort cash in the promise of a cure.

If you mean what I think you mean that surely only happens in very cold conditions. Hardly likely to be a problem in West Africa.

Isn't this really the equivalent of running around with your thumb stuck between your first and middle fingers yelling, "I've got your nose! I've got your nose!"?

Actually, methinks it is the real world application of the Monty Python & the Holy Grail scene:

"...How do you know she's a witch?"...

"she turned me into a newt...I got better"
