BIG DEAL, MY JESUS ICON DOES SHOTS OF TEQUILA

India experienced another one of it’s episodes of mass hysteria last week as thousands of people flocked to temples after rumours spread that idols of Hindu gods were drinking milk offered by devotees. A mad crush of frenzied worshippers mobbed statues of Lord Shiva, Lord Krishna, and Lord Ganesh in temples thoroughout northern India in order to be blessed by the miraculous turn of events. “It is amazing, Lord Ganesha drank milk from my hands. Now he will answer all my prayers,” said one devotee in Kolkata. Of course, not everyone was impressed. Leave it to a geology professor to ruin the fun, who explained to Reuters that “it is very natural for any stone idol to absorb any liquid and the older the stone the more it absorbs.” (Reuters)
