Piety.... Where is the line drawn between piety and insanity? What makes this sort of figurative self-flagulation acceptable? Why has not Mr. Lakshmikanth been safely enscounced in the local bin, where he's no danger to himself and can't encourage others? Does he get paid for this and if so does he have Workman's Comp?
Me, I prefer apple piety.

| From what I've heard the eyelid is actually very strong. Years ago I was having so much trouble keeping mine open when placing contact lenses in that I went back to my doctor, and he told me that the eyelids can exert a force of 40 pounds! What amazes me though is that the skin can take it. |

Seeing the fellow hoisting the Ganesha figure reminded me of Tim Kreider's cartoon about Hinduism:
