Thread Name: More Bizarre Moments
Subject: RE: More Bizarre Moments
My position has always been, if God created eveything, He created science too. And that's all I'm going to say about that.

Now.... as for bizarre moments... I want to make it perfectly clear that I am in no way criticizing or making fun of Hindu beliefs. Okay. This morning on NPR I heard a story about Delhi being overrun by rhesus monkeys. They get into people's houses and offices and markets and generally make a mess of things, plus some are aggressive and bite people who try to shoo them away. Not only that but they spread dirt and disease. No one wants to suggest a culling because monkeys are sacred. (There was a similar conundrum in India a few years back when the rats were spreading the plague.) In the meantime, they have a monkey catcher who catches what monkeys he can and takes them to less populated areas.
