Indonesians believe that if you give someone a knife it will end the relationship. Therefore, when someone gives a knife as a gift, the receiver will give a penny. [/ QUOTE ] They also believe the relationship is finished if you stick the knife in the other person regardless of whether they gave you a penny or not. |

[/ QUOTE ] The bed of nails is done to prove they have experienced nirvana, they can complete relax their muscles(otherwise the nails would puncture the skin). The "bullseye" is called a Bindi, hindu wives wear it to signify that theyre married..sorta like a wedding ring . |
