This one is for Bill over at The Evil Eyebrow, and because I found it to be a fascinating read. The discussion is about the Yiddish custom of The Evil Eye (spit spit spit). For some reason this all sounded vaguely familiar to me despite my complete and utter WASP upbringing. I can’t exactly recall why, but it’s like something from a book I read or a dream.
Evil Eye: Is the Universe Really Out to Get Me? by Dr Lynette Davidson
I found this article from Skepchick magazine which I found from Memoirs of Skepchick which I found via Bad Astronomy. I was also amused by the T-shirts sold through the Skepchick site which include the winners from the “Best Darwin Pickup Lines” contest.
Edit: Oops… forgot the link to the article.
