KATMANDU, Nepal - More than 100 women danced naked in a remote mountainous village in Nepal hoping the gods would be pleased and give them rain, a news report said Tuesday. ADVERTISEMENT
The women gathered at a local school, smeared their faces with black powder and danced naked last week at Darbang village, about 175 miles west of the capital, Katmandu.
"People in this area believe the (Hindu god) Mahadev will be happy and provide rain once women perform such a nude dance," the Kathmandu Post quoted local teacher as saying.
Weather forecasters say monsoon rain needed for crops has been delayed in the region this year.

Sounds like it's worth a try. Maybe it even worked. It's raining in California in June. Sorry, no photos.

The women... smeared their faces with black powder There are so many comments to add to this factoid that are either seriously politically incorrect or just plain obscene.

Like other religions, if it rains, then the dancing worked...if not, then they just didn't try hard enough. My bet, is that it will eventually rain, thus reinforcing their beliefs.

Anyone seen the GE commercial with the elephant doing a soft-shoe to that music? It cracks me up every time I see it.
