PROPOSAL TO SACRIFICE ONE MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT PER HOUR TO PACIFY POPOCATÉPETL VOLCANO (TRANSLATION)

Mexico – A group of honest citizens, concerned about the country, proposed carrying out a human sacrifice of members of the legislature to pacify the recent clouds of smoke from Popo and thus solve two problems with a single measure.

popocatepetl

A member of the group that proposed the measure stated that ¨like the Aztecs several centuries ago, we must give the volcano what it asks for.  The universe is wise and if we do this, we will avoid a possible natural disaster and at the same time solve the complicated problem known as the members of parliament´.

Clouds of smoke from the volcano have been increasing and the situation will surely worsen if it does not taste  politicians´ blood.
