SOME OLDER ITALIAN PEOPLE PREDICTED THE FUTURE BY BREAKING
AN EGG ON A PLATE AND PUTTING SOMEONE'S PIECE OF HAIR IN
THE EGG. THEN ONE ROCKS THE DISH AND DEPENDING ON THE WAY
THE HAIR TURNS, THE FUTURE CAN BE PREDICTED, EITHER GOOD
OR BAD. IF THE HAIR POINTED UP THE FUTURE WAS GOOD, AND
IF THE HAIR POINTED DOWN THE FUTURE WAS BAD.
Submitter comment: INFORMANT'S AUNT USED TO PREDICT THE FUTURE THIS WAY.
