Farmers in an eastern Indian state have asked their unmarried daughters to plough 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 ploughed the fields and chanted ancient hymns after sunset to invoke the gods. They said elderly village women helped the girls drag the ploughs.
"They (villagers) believe their acts would get the weather gods badly embarrassed, who in turn would ensure bumper crops by sending rains," Upendra Kumar, a village council official, said from Bihar's remote Banke Bazaar town.
"This is the most trusted social custom in the area and the villagers have vowed to continue this practice until it rains very heavily."

I only hope it stays dry long enough for webcams to be set up.

Indeed this thread is worthless without pictures.


Ahem... and I also hope it rains for them too. Nothing worse than crop-failure induced famine, well except for thermonuclear death...

Well, I hope this ancient custom works, so that many lives will be saved.

Plus which, we will then have wet naked girls plowing the fields....

We have periodic droughts in California too. Maybe this could be tried here. But I'd say throw in some male surfers as well since they've got that connection with water.

Now that is wisdom. I salute those village elders. We should adopt that practice over here, too. Though it might work better if they run around naked during the day, also, instead of only after sunset. Of course, seeing as the chance that naked fat women will run around over here is quite a bit larger then over there, the women should probably be screened first, just to make sure they're not too large. We want the weather gods to be embarrassed, not make them angry. I can do the screening.

Before I comment on whether or not I want to see pictures of this/cameras set up. I want to know how attractive these women are.

I'm offended by this. Very sexist.

Wooooooooooah there, Sir Spamalot. We'll take sarcasm from all sides, but not from you, sir. NOT FROM YOU!

Now go grab your little thesaurus of alternate names for masturbation and run along now. I said good day to you, sir. GOOD DAY!

Fine. Everybody gets naked. Happy now?

Yeah. Stupid me and not wanting to see ugly people naked!

Yes but we can't have ONE person in charge of deciding who is good naked and who is bad naked.

Clearly we need three or four people on the Nakedness Acceptability Committee... We should hold elections.

What happens if it ends up being a ten year drought?

 

[Capn Flukie]

Obviously needs more naked women.

 

[ShimmeringFacet]

Guys, you are complicating this unnecessarily.
I think the gods will be embarrassed no matter what the naked person looks like! And who knows onlookers might not be allowed. Stay focused on creating rain, please.

 

[DiSiLLUSiON]

Stay focused on creating rain, please.

I'll need to drink a lot, first.

Someone will just have to bite the bullet and look at naked women for us. I am willing to be that man. Link please.
