A confusing read.

I've called attention to this article in non-virtual circles, but wanted to mention it here too.

The gist: man in Iran is spurned by woman. He gets back at her by throwing sulfuric acid on her face, leaving her disfigured and blind. She invokes Islamic law and turns down offers of retribution money: instead, she wants an eye for an eye. Literally. Courts agree, and the man is sentenced to have five drops of sulfuric acid dropped into each eye.

Huh? I get caught up thinking of the logistics of the punishment. What's the concentration of the acid? Is it one drop, wipe, repeat, or is it five drops in a row? What's the time interval between drops? Who carries out the sentence?

Also, you know the expression that says that an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind? Indeed.
