Let who cast the first stone?
Hundreds of people have been injured in an annual stone throwing festival at a remote mountain village in northern India.I don't think my mother would have approved. From Ananova.Residents of Dhami near Shimla divided themselves into two groups and pelted stones at each other. The group having the least number of wounded were declared winners reports Asian News International.
It is reported participants were extremely enthusiastic about the stone throwing ritual, which continued for more than an hour in spite of injuries sustained.

Ouch.
On a somewhat related topic, was just reading about stones used by sling-throwers in the ancient world...how when these were unearthed at digs, many of the stones had unprintable language on them.
