At Baba Umer Durga, a Muslim shrine near Sholapur, India, babies are tossed off a 50 FT tower and caught in sheets held by men below! Yikes! On September 22, 2013, a baseball game between the Los Angeles Angels and the Seattle Mariners was delayed twice when Angel Stadium was invaded by a swarm of bees! People suffering from Alice In Wonderland Syndrome see objects as much smaller or larger than they really are.

If your eyes are closer together, you see objects as larger, and if your eyes are farther apart, you see objects as smaller. This could be a good science fair exhibit. Was out of school many years when I figured this out.

That baby toss, can not be good. Shows how backward these peple might still be.

From my research, Hindus also participate in the baby toss. The superstition is that it will ensure health and prosperity for the family.
