Indian farmers -- desperate for rain -- have asked their unmarried daughters to plow dry fields naked, in a bid to spark interest from the weather gods, and bring some badly needed monsoon rain.
The nude girls in the eastern India state of Bihar chanted hymns as they plowed the fields, asking for rain, witnesses told Reuters.
"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, told Reuters.
"This is the most trusted social custom in the area and the villagers have vowed to continue this practice until it rains very heavily," she told Reuters.

I think it is a darn shame that those girls in India will do whatever it takes to bring rain when those girls down in Texas won’t. What is our country coming to?

I am convinced that if the Kansas City Chiefs Cheerleaders will dance naked in my soybean field, the recession will end, Cap and Trade will fail, and Obamacare will be history. I have communicated this clairvoyant vision to the KC Chiefs Organization and eagerly await their reply.

She ain't naked. She ain't plowing. To be honest, I just wanted to see a pic of a female turning soil. I've heard of it, but I've never seen it, in person or in picture.

You need to take this crusade national. I happily will support your campaign for the Presidency should you want to run on this platform.
