Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman is back after a decade with his work on the Hong Kong harbor. The giant yellow duckling that had toured the world as an art installation and sent Hong Kong into a near frenzy is back. This time the artist did it twice, causing double joy to tourists and residents who rushed to take pictures. AP Photo/Louise Delmotte

Sardines for asthma
From generation to generation the knowledge of the miracle drug for asthma is passed down. The only ones who own it are the Goud family in Hyderabad, India where every year at this time hundreds of patients arrive at their door for the resident so-called doctor. A mixture of secret herbs is put into the mouth of a live sardine and then it goes down alive into the patient’s throat and here is the cure.

Dirty devils
It is in these cases that the pagan customs of a people are incorporated into their religion. Thus, in the church of Agios Athanasios in the city of Los Santos, Panama, dozens of devils with handmade masks and accompanied by tambourine and castanets dance wildly inside the church after they have of course been “forgiven” by the bishop of the area for the celebration of Body of Christ.
