Women, whosoever, labelled as a ‘witch’ by the villagers has to pick a silver coin from a tank filled with boiling oil, with both her hands. If her hands are burnt, her witchhood is confirmed, otherwise she is declared innocent.
To this day people believing in superstitions like witch craft, black magic etc etc is one thing but the process which they use to arrive at it is even the more stupid. Everyone from that village can be given this years Darwin award for Excellence for their shear idiocy.
