Lesson: don't trust dem pendulums.
Let me tell you a tale of my own. I was supposed to be the only child in
the family. Then my grandmother thought that I might become lonely if I
didn't have some company. (Go figure.)
So my folks decided to have another kid when I was 6. Being a religious kid
at that point in my life, I prayed a lot to the gods to give me a little
sister. As usual, the "elders" in the family made their predictions based
on my mother's complexion, etc. and all were sure it was going to be a
girl. Heck, when my dad went to UK on one of his business visits, he
brought back a whole bunch of girlie clothes.
And well, you probably guessed it already, but the one that popped out was
a devil of a younger brother, a complete contrast to what I was/am, in
every damn way. His nickname is "Damager". Guess why. ;)
Them gods let me down. :))

Naming competition! Yay!
