    The document discusses weird body modification practices, focusing on women of the Kayan Lahwi tribe in Myanmar who elongate their necks by wearing stacked brass rings around their necks from a young age. Over many years, the weight of the rings causes their clavicles and ribs to compress, elongating their necks. While seen as strange, it is a cultural tradition for the tribe dating back generations as a symbol of beauty. The document provides details on the process, effects on the body, and how the practice is viewed as part of the tribe's cultural traditions.
