Summary:
Environ 100 000 personnes ont un compte à la banque Ram Ramapati, banque qui ne s'occupe pourtant pas d'argent.
Details:
Cette banque familiale fondée en 1826 à Varanasi en Inde est un peu particulière. Il ne s'agit pas ici de déposer ou de retirer de l'argent mais de garantir chance et prospérité. Pour ouvrir un compte, rien de plus simple : écrire 125 000 fois le nom du dieu Râma. Cependant, des conditions s'imposent : le document doit être retourné à la banque au plus tard 8 mois et 10 jours après la contraction du prêt, des ablutions sont nécessaires avant de commencer à écrire, l'ail et l'oignon sont interdits tant que le document n'est pas rempli etc.
Une fois le document rendu à la banque, cette dernière se chargera du bien-être du client par le biais de rituels.

Summary:
In maya culture, some captives had to play a ball game and the losing team were decapitated.
Details:
The aztec version was very nice too :
With the Aztec version of the game, the skulls of losing teammembers were even placed in a 'skull rack' beside the field, and their blood was offered as 'food for the gods'.
So, to sum that up : do not play soccer with aztecs, unless you play very well !
