In India, tourists tempt fate by taking pictures of themselves in front of the huge Krishna's Butter Ball. The famous landmark of Madras attracts a huge number of tourists from all over the world every day. This "ball of oil" looks like a huge boulder, 20 feet high, frozen on top of a hill and is about to roll down.
It is said that Krishna's Butter Ball has not moved for the last 1000 years, but scientists counteract: this does not mean that it will remain forever motionless. Basically, the stone can roll at any moment and crush the tourists who gather around it.
In 1908, the governor of Madras tried to move the stone using the powers of seven elephants, but the effort was in vain. There are many legends about the appearance of a strange boulder, including fantastic ones. Some say that this is a secret UFO base, others that it is a natural formation. Still others, that it is a mountain disfigured by erosion.
According to Indian myths, the god Krishna created this stone by stealing a piece of butter from his mother and rolling it into a ball.
