雖然在這片名人薈萃的墓地上，維克托·諾瓦不如大部分的偉人那樣聞名，但其墓穴卻是該公墓最主要的景觀之一。據說，摸摸他的褲子能夠多子多孫，所以這里經常有希望懷孕的女子造訪。

愛爾蘭科克郡布拉尼地區布拉尼城堡，布拉尼石（巧言石）

不太善于言辭嗎？嘗試去親親巧言石吧。據說它能賦予造訪者無與倫比的語言能力，但親吻這塊石頭得以臥姿倒著頭去親。為了保障慕名而來的親吻者的安全，布拉尼城堡還配備工人專門協助親吻過程的進行。

德國科赫姆的科赫姆城堡，枝形吊燈

As if a 9)mermaid with 10)antlers was not unusual enough， this one is thought to bring good luck. The worn-down paint on the sea creature’s red tummy is proof of how many believers come to give the 11)fixture a little 12)tickle.

好像一尾長著鹿角的美人魚還不夠稀奇，這盞美人魚吊燈據說還能帶來好運呢。這盞美人魚吊燈上的紅色魚肚子脫落的油漆足以證明有多少信徒來為這個固定的燈飾撓癢癢。

Intihuatana Stone; Machu Picchu， Peru

Originally constructed as a time measurement device by which sacred ceremonies could be planned， the Intihuatana Stone has developed a secondary function. Some say that sensitive types can rub their foreheads against the stone and see spirits.

13)Manhole Covers; Sweden

瑞典，下水道井蓋

It’s hard enough to look out for cracks in the sidewalk， but in Sweden residents also have to look out for manhole covers. Labeled with letters that represent different things like “love” or “lost love，” pedestrians either avoid or touch their feet to the covers depending on what fate they

might bring.

要在人行道上避開裂縫已經夠難的了，但在瑞典，當地居民還得留心上面的沙井蓋。井蓋上一般會標注著如“戀愛”、“失戀”等各種不同的字樣。步行者要么避而遠之，要么踏而過之，那得看這些蓋子能帶給他們怎樣的運氣了。
