The Cambodian Lucky Log

Thousands of Cambodians flocked to a 42-foot long log excavated from a pond because they believe it's magical:

"They believe the log has magical powers," he said, adding that visitors were coming loaded with offerings such as pig heads and boiled whole chickens after some locals who touched the wood won money in the lottery.

[Village chief Hun Nov] said some believers rubbed talcum powder onto the wood, hoping to see lucky lottery numbers, and others drank water from the pond and smeared nearby mud onto their bodies in a bid to cure their ailments.
