Loaves & Fishes Vindaloo

3:40 PM -- More religious news from the sub-continent, courtesy of Reuters:

A rich 80-year-old Indian widow has spent thousands of dollars on a feast for 100,000 people in the hope it would please the gods and open the doors of heaven for her, local officials said...

Kunwar spent $37,500 on the feast. Local officials said she spent lavishly on the meal because she had no one to bequeath her property.

Lavish indeed: 37.5 cents a head. That's a lotta chutney!
