Have you ever heard or read about bizarre customs/ traditions?

Since I am signed up on another discussion board (and it is not a paying site. Just for information and discussion!), I am notified whenever there is anything new to read on my feed. So, I get this e-mail and they are discussing an ancient custom where people offered/ offer their wives to the guests as a welcome sign. Apparently to improve the gene pool. It was an interesting read. (I am adding the link below if anyone interested to read it) This had me curious about other bizarre/ weird traditions/ customs like that. Out of them, there were some that stood out: (well to me they did while others I have had read or heard about at some point of my life.) 1. Dancing with the dead (Literally): It stands out because (shivers) dead and I do not mix well. I can NOT handle being in the same space with a dead body. 2. Throwing babies down a 50 feet high (almost 5 storey buildings) temple: This angers me because dude.....whatever sort of faith or belief have you do this to a baby (newborn at that) you seriously have several screws loose in your head. 3. Finger cutting to mourn the significant other: Eh...? (Photo by Pixabay)
