Reminds me of the justice zone from Red Dwarf, whatever crime you commit happens to you instead.
... it's meant to be
"he loses an Eye" "you lose an eye"
Why would they name a mesopotamian king after dough (hamur) brother (abi)? Very strange!
This is how wars between villages arise. A wise leader knows that when someone steals your bug soup you must marry their second eldest daughter and come to hunt dogs together. But if you come back empty handed, it is tradition to rub shea butter into their asshole, rope him to a tree and watch which animal will lick it first. If a monkey it means lucky season, if a lion licks asshole then it means twenty seven days of misfortune is ahead.
