A sad story from Thailand:

A crowd of thousands waiting to buy purportedly magical amulets erupted into a stampede that killed one woman and injured dozens Monday, police said.

More than 10,000 people had camped overnight outside a school to buy the Jatukam Ramathep amulets, which have gained a huge following in recent months for what are believed to be their magical qualities.

Guess the magical amulets weren’t so lucky after all.

But, hey, who are we to say it’s bunk? If they want to believe in it, it’s all good, because beliefs don’t have any consequences.

Right?
