Naked Girls Plow India Fields

Iusually like to show a picture when I post an article, here, on the blog. As you read on, you'll see why this is not possible:

PATNA, India (Reuters) – Farmers in an eastern Indian state have asked their unmarried daughters to plow parched fields naked in a bid to embarrass the weather gods to bring some badly needed monsoon rain, officials said on Thursday.

Witnesses said the naked girls in Bihar state plowed the fields and chanted ancient hymns after sunset to invoke the gods. They said elderly village women helped the girls drag the plows.


Locally, we've had plenty of rain. Besides, this is happening in India - NOT Indiana. I quess we just can't catch a break!
