cypriot seeks to unravel curse with pants and egg
friday november 16, 3:22 am


nicosia (reuters) - having marital problems? have you tried putting egg in your underpants?

a woman in cyprus is on trial for sorcery after pledging to shake off a curse apparently plaguing a man's relationship with his wife and mother-in-law.


the suggested remedy consisted of an egg, a spoon, a nail, some pubic hairs and underpants, local media reported on friday.

"she cracked the egg into my underpants," the 37-year-old man told a district court in the capital nicosia.

the elderly woman wanted some 5,000 cyprus pounds (5,968 pounds) for her efforts, the man said, so he went to police.

sorcery is banned in cyprus though many people indulge in card readings and palmistry and read runes in coffee cups.

Wow. I would think laying an egg in your pants is bad thing.
