*Goddesses Needed*
Buddhist officials in Nepal are having a difficult time
recruiting 5-year-old girls to be official goddesses, to
live in palaces and be waited on hand-and-foot, according
to a March Associated Press dispatch from Katmandu. The
problem is that the goddesses' jobs end automatically at
puberty, and the girls increasingly are unprepared for the
rest of their lives, untrainable because of how sheltered
and pampered their early years were. (Mere tutors are not
permitted to tell a goddess to study, and legend has it
that men who marry ex-goddesses die young.)

That's crap, they toss them out at puberty, why? all of a sudden being a women isn't good enough...they have to have children?
crazy if you ask me.....
Now if they let them be goddesses after puberty i'd say go for it.... then at least the spoiled brat wouldn't be let out into society!
