[Jacob-list] anyone heard of this one?

[Gillian Fuqua]

	I just got an email from my brother who lives in Nepal.  He saw a 
piece in an Indian newspaper about laying a lamb on its side, putting a 
pipal leaf on its head and a stone on top of the leaf.  (No word on the 
size of the stone.)  This apparently temporarily paralyzes the lamb.  
My brother wanted to know if I had heard of this.  I restrained myself 
from replying that he must have baked his brain in the Himalayan sun, 
where am I going to find a pipal tree in VT!  So I thought instead I 
would put it out there and see if any of you guys had heard of anything 
like that!
	First lambs due in a week, bare patches of ground showing and a lovely 
earthy spring smell finally in the air!
