Apparently, there's
some lady in England who has some demonic forces shaping if not her entire existence, at least the statistical events in her life. Observe, from the BBC:
A woman born weighing 6lbs 6oz on 6 June at 0600 BST, and who is 66 on 6/6/06, is refusing to drive on her birthday to help avoid accidents.
She has a normal enough name, June Dumas (if the parents were whimsically inclined enough to name her after her birth month, why not make it just a bit more dramatic and go with something more like Demonella, Satanita, Beelzebelle, or something along those lines?) The photo posted of her seems to try to indicate that she's not particularly evil looking, but she DOES have red hair...VERY suspicious...
The article goes on to quote her thusly:
"The woman from Hove said she had become less superstitious as she got older, but she still saluted single magpies, and avoided walking under ladders."
I've heard fo the walking under ladders thing, but WTF is up with saluting magpies?! Do we even have those here? Weren't
Heckle and Jeckle magpies? Does anyone even remember that cartoon? Hrm. It's all quite eerie, if you ask me.
My question is this...none of this information is of a surprise nature, so how are we just hearing about it now, and not like months ago, when we could have had proper time to prepare to burn her at the stake or something like that? I'll be smelting a silver bullet if anyone needs me. No sense in taking any chances, the demon lady is just a short plane ride away...
Ah well, the lord's work is never done...or something like that...I leave you with a birthday quote from Ms. Beelzebella (my favorite from the suggestions above) herself:
"I used to be a superstitious person but as you get older you tend to think that what will happen will happen," she said.
So the moral of the story?
It is what it is. Carry on.
