India: Babies Thrown 50ft Off Temple (Warning: Not for Squeemish stomachs) 
The bizarre ritual of throwing newborn babies off a temple 50ft high and catching them in a cloth sheet has been observed in India.
Babies are thrown from a templeDevotees at a Muslim shrine in western India's Maharashtra state believe the act makes children stronger. It is practised by couples who are blessed with a child after taking a vow at the Baba Sheikh Umar Saheb 'Dargah' (the Muslim place of worship) in the Musti village of Solapur. The ritual has been observed for more than 500 years. 
Somebody please tell me what the hell is really going on?!
