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.
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.

LOL... Sounds like you need to get your butt down to the major drought areas of San Antonio and environs.
Perhaps you may be able to get someone to pay you for your apparent talents!
Hmmm... Not a bad idea. Do you really think someone would pay me to walk around outside and not threaten to take my clothes off? If so, introduce me immediately, and I’m on it!
Somebody's been doing something naked around here because we've gotten one heck of a lot of rain this past week........I wish they'd stop it.
.
Sorry I can’t help you there.
I’m not from Texas, and don’t know anyone living there right now. We’ve got plenty of rain here in NY nowadays, so you won’t get a very good price here.
Perhaps you should put yourself up on EBay or Craig’s List!
That is curious, I just stood in front of my window with only my underpants on and look what happened. I must have really upset the weather gods.
...Oh! now there is a crowd gathering and pointing, I must go down and see what is the cause of their excitement.
ROFL!
About time you joined the fray. I thought AFPhys and I were going to have to do without you.
So. Be sure to let us know what all the excitement is about. Your answer will be useless without pictures.
Apparently, it was some old duffer in his skivvies putting on a show. Some people have no sense of propriety.
Thankfully, the rain did not last very long and soon the weather gods seemed to be happy again and I took this pic.
Yeah... And I want to see the pics when you put yourself up on EBay, too.
That is a gorgeous picture. Did you really just take that pic, or is it from time past? What is the harbor?
Too bad you missed the excitement. You could have told the ol’duffer that he could join TOL on EBay.
The place is the harbor of the little town of Sada (5,000 inhabitants,) about 12 miles from La Coruña. Spain
Here is pic of about a quarter of the of the view:
Yeah, want to see me at 25 or at 62? Hint: don’t ask for 62, you may not survive the horror.
It is a gorgeous picture, really, did you take it Cardhu? Piling on here, where is it?
I put myself up on Ebay and crashed the whole system. All that empty bandwidth from people signing off and running screaming exploded the entire site. Sorreeeee!
Oh, my late brother Bruce loved Spain. If he could have, he would have lived there.
Yes I took the picture from my window I have a 180º view of the Ria de Betanzos. Actually more than 180º add another 20º.
I will pack the item you selected in a shipping container and send it by sea to where ever.
I wager that you look a lot better to me than you fear. You are comparing your looks to what you recall seeing in the mirror at what you think was the best time of your life. Others don’t know that person, and take you as you are. I know I don’t look as good now, either naked or clothed, as I did when I was flying jets. I’m not really unhappy now though some might think I should be wearing a burka. Tough!
I find it interesting to see the changes in looks from teens to “senior” ages. Sometimes it is hard to see the same person. Most times it is not that tough.
That said, I suspect that I would rather see you naked at 25, just as you would rather see me that way. This is why it is a good idea to have lights off usually when making love ;^) However, as I said, I bet I would find that you are less horrid than you do, despite EBay having a dearth of visitors right now.
It could be worse, you know: you might be Helen Thomas.
Spain is beautiful and very safe country for retirement.
Um... Uh... 30,000 EBayers can’t be wrong.
Did I tell you I’m happily married? For thirty years this November? He’s no Adonis either, but it’s not important to either of us.
Yes, you’re right. If you saw my youthful pix and me now, you would not believe the change. I definitely do not look like the same person.
