I wasn't sure if I was passing on fact or just pure rumor, but it sure seemed like a likely story. I know that the Chinese have a lot of superstitions like that, so it sounded like something that could be true. And definitely do keep the book in mind - it really is quite cool! I didn't read everything in depth because that would have taken me weeks to get through it (even being a speedreader!) but I did look through most of it. There is a lot of great info and pictures (LOTS of pictures!) in it. Havs http://nonfictionlover.today.com Sarah, that’s good to know!
