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 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 ($12,195) 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.
