I'm not convinced. I'd prefer them to demonstrate their technique for me, under controlled conditions. Call me an opportunistic skeptic.

Whatever works. The drought is awful this year here in the Southeast; farming females have an obligation.

How about here in Northern Cali where it's unseasonably chilly? Maybe naked female dancing in the streets will bring out the sun... worth a try anyway!

They forgot to remind us that this does NOT work in trailer parks.

*shudder*

We can't judge in the absence of pictures. It's an FR custom.

I dunno about that one. Southern girls in "daisy dukes" and halter tops is what makes the sun shine... ;)

If you're expecting India's version of the Hooter's girls all soakin' wet, sweatty and nekkid after a hard day of hoeing the fields, you can forget it. Think National Geographic, my friend. (sorry, I had to do that for your own good and hopefully refrain someone from posting a "vomit" pic.)

I'm surrounded by fires in So. Oregon today. It's over 100 degrees. Stripping sounds logical to me! We've tried everything else.

Some 200 women in Nepal who ploughed their fields naked in a desperate attempt to bring rain to their drought-stricken region were rewarded as the monsoon began shortly afterwards

Naked farming was not the only ritual performed by the locals...

Something to try ping!

True. Otherwise one would be forced to conclude that there is no clothing at all in Prague.
