I believe you, Jonathan. When I was pregnant many years ago with my first child, someone told me an "old wives' tale" -- that one could determine the gender of the baby by suspending a needle on a thread over my enlarged tummy, and holding it as still as humanly possible. Then, in a minute or two, the needle would begin to move, either in a circle (that means a girl child) or back and forth (a boy). It was true for me, in both pregnancies, and for others I knew, who tried it, too. I have heard of others using a wedding ring instead of a needle.
I haven't a clue about why (I got boys both times, though I prayed fervently for a girl), so it couldn't have been wishful thinking. Hmm. Guess this should have been OT, but it's short, so I hope I am forgiven.
