Sulawesi angel is seaman's sex doll
Well, she looks angelic enough.
She was found floating in the sea, and the simple young fisherman who rescued her had never seen anything like her in his life-- a naked, fair-skinned girl with round green eyes and an expression of serene rapture.
And after he carried her on shore his fellow inhabitants of the village of Kalupapi in Indonesia's Sulawesi decided that she was an angel from heaven.
"ANGEL IN SULAWESI FOUND FALLEN FROM THE SKY, NAKED AND WEEPING," ran the newspaper headline.
The fisherman's mother dressed the angel decently, and covered her head with a hijab. Then, as the days followed, she redressed her frequently . . . because she was deflating.
As the local police took no time to find out, the angel was nothing more or less than a sailor's sex doll, fallen off a passing ship.
