CAIRO - A family in Saudi Arabia has filed suit in a religious court against an unnamed genie, or jinn, who sounds most unpleasant: It steals cell phones, whispers threats and occasionally flings stones.
"We began to hear strange sounds," a family member who requested anonymity told the Saudi daily Al Watan. "At first we did not take it seriously, but then stranger things started to happen, and the children got particularly scared when the genie started throwing stones."
I take it that so far the genie's lawyer has not returned reporters' phone calls.
