AP - More than 100 women danced naked in a remote mountain village in Nepal hoping the gods would be pleased and give them rain, a news report said.

The women gathered at a local school, smeared their faces with black powder and danced naked at Darbang village, about 280 kilometres west of the capital, Kathmandu.

"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 a local teacher as saying.

Weather forecasters say monsoon rain needed for crops has been delayed in the region this year.

Thanks God, Mahadeva himself didn't join the naked dance. Otherwise, many Ganeshes and Kumars would have been born.

ha ha ... I wonder if Mahadev has answered their prays ... has anyone checked the forecast for that part of the country ? :)

If it hasn't rained, that would be a shame, stripping for Mahadev, and the lord doesn't even leave a tip.

Perhaps thundering typhoons would make up for lack of torrential rain, Capn'!

ha ha ...

Blistering barnacles, Sitara, Mahdev appears idle on my buddy list. I buzzed him repeatedly but all I see is idle for 33 days. Dang, I told him to keep his doping under control but the guy never listens. Oh these gods!

Idea! I will send Thomson and Thompson after him !
