A jet fighter has a refrigerating system with a freezing capacity equal to 176,000 ice cubes a day. The natives of the province of Merina on the island of Madagascar enact annually a ceremony they refer to as Famadiana. There, time does not heal the grief of relatives who lose a kinsman through death. Each September, they dig up the bodies of their dear departed and provide them with a change of clothing. Then, they reinter them in the same grave or transfer them to a new and showier sepulcher, depending on the state of the family's finances. This macabre ceremony is repeated until either the bereaved die or there is nothing left. Believe It or Not!
