A king of the Bamileke tribe in Africa is always buried with a bamboo tube in his mouth so his thirsty spirit can be refreshed with wine once a week. Among the many strange religious sects of India are the holy men of the Jaina sect. They never wear shoes, nor do they eat between sunset and sunrise. They can only shape their hair and beards by plucking the hair out by the roots. And strangest of all is their concern about insects. They'll never light a fire if it endangers insects, and actually bandage their mouths to prevent them from inhaling and harming germs and flies. Believe It or Not!
