Throwing babies !
Devotees at a shrine in western India's Maharastra district perform a bizarre ritual: throwing babies. They toss infants from a height of 50 feet onto a cloth sheet held by both Muslim and Hindu worshippers. They believe it's good for the newborn babies' health.
the Story behind:
The faithful have been observing the infant-throwing ritual at the Solapur shrine for over five hundred years.
It's practiced by parents who are blessed with a child after taking a vow at the dargah, a place of worship.
The devotees of Musti village believe that it's good for the health of the newborn, and that the whole exercise makes the children strong.
But for onlookers, this age-old ritual may seem a bit bizarre, and, well, dangerous. The good news is, they say no newborns have ever been harmed or injured in the process.

Amazing new China - The longest sea bridge in the world !
Source: CCTV.com | 05-02-2008 09:14
In China, the world's longest cross-sea bridge has opened. The project is part of efforts to improve economic integration and development in east China's Yangtze River Delta.
This is a new shortcut in the Yangtze River Delta. The 36-kilometer bridge spans the Hangzhou Bay, cutting the length of a trip from Shanghai to port city Ningbo by 120 kilometers, and saving at least one hour for travellers.
Local resident said, "It saves both time and money, and helps to improve our work efficiency."
The longest bridge across the sea is expected to alleviate the loaded traffic flow in the booming triangle region linking Shanghai, Hangzhou and Ningbo. It will be an important channel for the coastal economic regions in East China.
It will also boost economic integration and development in the Yangtze River Delta, which covers almost 100,000 square kilometers and has a population of 72.4 million people.
Linking major tourist sites across the Yangtze River, the bridge itself has also become an essential stop for tourists.
Chen Minxian, official Ningbo Tourism Bureau, said, "It is expected that during this year's May Day holiday, about 200,000 tourists will visit Ningbo, doubling the number of the same time last year."
The six-lane bridge has cost 1.18 billion yuan to build, with 30 percent private investment. It is the first time China's private sector has invested in a major public infrastructure project in the country.
