Fun of the day: Railway Sleepers :)

Railway Sleepers
Villagers in Rawa Buaya lying on a railway track while waiting for a train to rattle* by for 'electrical therapy' in Jakarta, Indonesia. People in the outskirts of the capital have been participating in the treatment after hearing a rumor about a man who was partially paralyzed by a stroke going to the tracks to kill himself but found himself cured instead. The Indonesians believe the electrical current from the track can cure various diseases. 

From The Star Newspaper said: "Malaysians, however, are advised not to try this out!!" 
Well... I agree.. :P

*rattle: to make a noise like hard things hitting each other, or make somebody suddenly become worried.
  • He rattled the money in the tin.
  • The news of his arrival really rattled her.
