Don't know if this is specifically Irish or English or whatever, but it's 
supposed to be on of the three ways by which you can identify a werewolf in
human form--the others being almond-shaped fingernails and (I think) hair on

Just a bit of interesting but useless information to while away the time that
I'm ment to be spending doing some essay or other.
