A Balinese couple kiss while the crowd pours water over them during the traditional kissing festival called “Omed-Omedan” in Denpasar on the resort island of Bali on March 17, 2010. The annual ritual is held one day after the Hindu New Year called “Nyepi” in Bali, also celebrated as the “Day of Silence” where local young men and women gather in groups on a main road after prayer at the temple. The men compete against each other to kiss the girl while other douse the couple with water while they embrace in a kiss

"In science it often happens that scientists say, “You know that’s a really good argument; my position is mistaken,” and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn’t happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time someting like that happened in politics or religion."
