Madurai, August 21: At least 105 children were ‘‘buried’’ alive for ‘‘just one minute’ in Perayur village, 46 kms from Madurai, on Wednesday to propitiate two female deities even as a minister from Jayalalithaa’s Cabinet watched on.

The children—who were first rendered unconscious—were sunk into makeshift graves, covered completely, kept there for 60 seconds and then pulled out. All this under the benign gaze of state Minister for Housing and Urban Development, C Durairaj.

Uhm, and why do you want to know that, Evolved? Why would you want to know that? Eh? Eh?

(Now, how does one go about creating a smiley for 'suspicious look'?)

'Why?' was the question I asked: I can't think of anything more horrific to put your kids through

I want to know if they did it humanely, although I don’t have much confidence in their skills as parents so I much doubt it.

It's important to know whether they rendered the children unconscious by using tainted Kool-Ade or just a sledge hammer.

I mean, think of it.

This "just a minute" nonsense is an insult to anyone's intelligence. "Oh, there were only buried for a minute....after we knocked 'em out, of course...."

Sounds like: "But I only had it in her for a minute, your honor..and only after I knocked her out..."

Yes FraterLibre, I felt the same way but the above 2 posters where insinuating that I wanted to know so I could perform such a ritual myself. If I wanted to knock a kid out I could but why on earth would I want to?
