Bug Rest Houses Funded by Indian Banker
Time Magazine notes that Seth Buddimal of Sihora Central India bequeathed 100000 dollars to build three bug rest houses where weary travelers may sleep and earn a small stipend as long as they lie still and kill no bugs. Attendants eject sleepers who harm a bug, even accidentally. Similar houses exist across India maintained by devout locals who view every insect as a reincarnated soul.
