Kashmir's holy stalagmite vanishes ... again (http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/DEL223702.htm)

SRINAGAR, India, July 2 (Reuters) - An ice stalagmite that forms in a Himalayan cave and is worshipped as a Hindu god has melted completely for the second year, officials said on Monday, as a pilgrimage to the site was suspended due to bad weather.

The phallus-shaped stalagmite in the remote Amarnath cave in revolt-hit Indian Kashmir disappeared on Sunday, disappointing Hindu pilgrims who see it as a form of Lord Shiva, the god of destruction and regeneration.

"The Shivalinga has completely melted. It is unfortunate," said Arun Kumar, head of the Amarnath Shrine Board.

...
"When I reached the cave on Friday, there was little of it left," said Sudarshan Rao, a pilgrim from Mumbai. "It is disappointing for every pilgrim."

Last year, when the stalagmite also disappeared, Hindu pilgrims angrily accused authorities of using snow to rebuild it.

Good on ya, Shiva mate, get in there.

As a hindu philosopher, I've deduced that Shiva's peepee is not dissipitating. But rather, Shiva is slowly (he's got all eternity) fornicating with the earth (Parvati), making it appear as if his schmekel is gone. For the sake of Parvati, I'm hoping for an earthquake.

*btw, my parents are going to india in the winter, and were originally planning to go see that thing. They're disappointed that they can't now.

joft and Pooja are like Wayne Gretzky and Jari Kurri -- he passes her the puck and she scores. Or vice versa.
