Log!

Log!

A large log dug up in Cambodia has drawn thousands of visitors who believe it has healing powers and can predict winning lottery numbers.

Some 4,000 to 5,000 people have already been to see the 13-metre-long log (42 feet) that was discovered earlier this month when a family excavated a pond in western Pursat province, Prey Yeang village chief Hun Nov said. "They believe the log has magical powers," he said, adding that visitors were coming loaded with offerings such as pig heads and boiled whole chickens

Cambodians are highly superstitious...


No!

...particularly in the countryside where people continue to merge animist practices with Buddhism.


Now there's an interesting combination. In the West, of course, we've already commercialized it. From Blammo! It's Log!
