Holy Missing Leg

In some parts of the world, you can be dubbed a holy man if you can convince enough people you have healing powers. It's a good gig, and 80-year-old Indian holy man Yanadi Kondaiah led a pretty good life after the locals started to believe his claims of possessing a magical right leg. Of course, when you're attached to such a hot commodity as a magic healing leg, you're inevitably going to become the target of jealous criminals. So when Kondaiah allowed two strangers to get him drunk to the point of unconsciousness and woke up with his magic leg missing, he really shouldn't have been too surprised. I can't condone forcible amputation as a means of scientific experimentation, but it'll be interesting to know whether the leg still works once it's on its own. More details here.
