I once met an old wise man that used to urinate in all four corners of each room in his house.I asked the crazy old timer why he did it and he says that it keeps scorpions from entering his home..well it worked because he lived in a scorpion rich area at the time and no scorpions where ever to be found! He also put poop on his walls and did naked charka dances to summon the good spirits.True story...
