Have you heared any "old wives tales" whilst in Goa/India....

A family we have known for over 12 years have just had a beautiful baby girl with a fantastic head of hair....the wife cannot understand it....she says..."If you eat pork fat whilst pregnant you will have a hairy baby"...she says she has not eaten pork whilst pregnant !!!!!
Also "warm fizzy pop is poisionus"...classic

Hear's one from a friend who has a guest-house in Candolim.

She says - "if you hear an owl hooting in the village, then someone is close to dying."
So they chase away the owls.

Silly really when you think about the owl's staple diet - mice & rats. :duh
