Re, 'Weird Facts'. I've often wondered hoo accurate these 'facts' are. In this case not much.
Absolem was Davids' friend. He was Sauls son. The Kyber pass in in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan.
And so it goes.
Many harmless birds and animals were once regarded with horror and loathing by superstitious people throughout the world!
Notes
Animals listed as bad omens are owl and magpie. A good omen is a cuckoo. The howling of dogs was associated with the approach of death. It was thought that a mouse held the soul of a person when asleep. A black cat was depicted as a witch's companion.
