Mis ceños y sonríes

I wish I could have witnessed the eclipse too.

Superstition accompanied the path of the eclipse, as it has for centuries.
One Indian newspaper advised pregnant women not to go outside during the eclipse to avoid having a baby who is blind or having a cleft lip. Food cooked before the eclipse should be thrown out because it will be impure, and those holding a knife or ax during the event will cut themselves, the Hindustan Times added.
In Turkey's Tokat province, wary residents set up tents outside despite assurances from scientists that there was no evidence of a link between earthquakes and eclipses.
In August 1999, an earthquake in northwestern Turkey killed some 17,000 people just six days after a solar eclipse. (LATimes.com) | posted by gina, 10:07 PM
