There are strange things going on in the world. I wouldn't give much
credence to a Voodoo doll, but then it might work somehow.

A well known example is that hospital patients recover better & quicker
when prayed for. There have been numerous studies of this and the margin
ranges from statistically insignificant to around 8%.

Another more personal example is my father's Tanuki statue. Tanuki is
the Shinto god of fertility. Dad brought it home from Japan and it is
responsible for at least a dozen babies including my nephew. He was born
almost exactly 9 months after my sister visited and handled Tanuki by
chance. I will not let my wife touch it... I had to yank it away from
her when Dad was showing it to her...

OTOH as an engineer, I always tell people it's bad luck to be
superstitious...

I always thought it was only women that got pregnant, not just "people"

Doesn't sound like much fun at all for either party... although some
have claimed that isn't the point...
