Scientific illiteracy is sweeping the world. One recent article I came across is from India.
Authorities are investigating reports that disabled children in India were buried up to their necks during this week's solar eclipse as a supposed remedy for their handicaps. Officials said Thursday they were looking into reports that some 34 children aged 2 to 7 were buried in sand up to their chins -- with the consent of the parents -- in the belief that doing so during an eclipse would cure the children of their disabilities.
Let's go through the logical strain of reasoning of how a solar eclipse cures the disabled. Oh wait, there is no logic here. Kids stay in school
