Kissing the Blarney Stone, beside Blarney Castle in Cork , Ireland is supposed to endow the kisser with the gift of the gab. My grandfather was from the area, and used to tell stories of tourists, bending down to kiss the stone (which is semi-buried). The locals, who don't believe in the stories, supposedly urinated on the stone at night. Canada

In Indonesia, the Javanese do not use surnames the way we do in the western world. One example is Megawati Sukarnoputri. Although Sukarbiputri looks like a last name, it only means "daughter of Sukarno".
