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.

[Lekker 1]

Oh boy...this thread is gonna be interesting!!!

[South Hawthorne]

I'd be willing to roll the dice and see a photo of that.

[DancesWithTrout]

My yard needs rain....any volunteers?

[JAWs]

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.

[SIDENET]

Pictures?

[PlanoMike]

I guess that's why it rains so much in Houston!

[Senator_Blutarski]

Its kind of dry around here.

That's nothing. I know a place downtown where women dance naked for a large collection of dollar bills...

bump...'cause there just may be some...interesting...pictures before it's over with!

[stuartcr]

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.

No, got a link? That would be funny to see.

My bet, is that it will eventually rain, thus reinforcing their beliefs.

And I'm sure the men in the area will consider this a good thing, and re-define "drought" to be a much more common occurrence.

This must be why so many people move to Seattle.

[Rebelbase]

There's an adult car wash on the west side of town that does this thing every day.

[CaptRon]

Must be a real blow to the ol' self-esteem if it doesn't rain.

[Go Gordon]

My crazy uncle will tell women anything...

We're waiting . . . . . . . . . . . < tapping toes >

[stuartcr]

[CaptRon]

[Larry Lucido]

[EX52D]

Let me see if that works...be right back.

[TXBSAFH]

Your thread is here.

[Allegra]

ROFL! And you beat Mike...

[JAWs]

OK. Is this the Al Jolson sect? And we should be glad it was not a white substance on their faces.
Now I hide from the moderators!

[MikefromOhio]

You know, it never rains here in June...

hmmmmmmmmm.... LOL

[garyhope]

It worked. I was in New Orleans this weekend and IT POURED!

Oh, wrong country.

[Larry Lucido]

Well, for God's sake, don't stop looking now!

[MikefromOhio]

maybe it is just me, but all the pics I am finding aren't well suitable for FR let's say...

[tertiary01]

Yup, it's sprinkles in the wine country. Soon clouds of sulphur resulting from the skills of illegals will engulf the county.

Maybe just a prayer for Nepal to get the rain it needs, so these women don't have to waste precious calories.

[Allegra]

Well, for God's sake, don't stop looking now!

I'm not looking...I'm just watching you guys. LOL
