A German court ruled that a witch had to pay her client back the fee for a love potion that did not work. The woman client did the prescribed ritual for six months before complaining.
The witch had to repay the $1,275 she charged. The court said she had offered a service that was “objectively completely impossible.”
The client said she was trying to get a man back who ended a relationship with her in 2003. Although the witch said she never offered a guarantee on her product, the court said “a love ritual is not suited to influencing a person from a distance.”
The court would not release either women’s names.

There are several variations on this folkloric statement, and they’re all quantifiably false. Astronauts can spot the Great Wall from low-Earth orbit, along with plenty of other things like the Giza pyramids and even airport runways. But they can’t see the Wall from the Moon.

There is no evidence that animals possess a mysterious sixth-sense allowing them to predict natural disasters. Their keen senses of smell, hearing, and sharp instincts alone are enough to send them scattering for the hillsides during a hurricane or tsunami. And even so, animals often die during natural disasters, so if they do have some sort of sixth sense, it’s not worth much.

Though hair and fingernails appear to keep growing after death, this is merely a morbid optical illusion at work. In death the human body dehydrates severely, retracting enough skin to expose more nail and hair.
