Kuwabara, Kuwabara

Anybody who knows me knows I'm TERRIFIED of lightning. The storms we've had here lately have really jarred my nerves. I'm often found muttering the phrase "Kuwabara, Kuwabara," which I picked up, oddly enough, from a video game (Metal Gear Solid 3). I've finally found the actual history of this phrase, and how it (hopefully) protects me:

Back in 9th century, there was one Japanese aristocrat called Sugawarano Michizane. After his death, he became a thunder god and began killing his enemies with lightnings.
The land that Michizane owned was Kuwabara, so people thought it would be good idea to claim the land he/she is standing is Kuwabara, so that Michizane would hesitate to strike his own people.
The very people living in Kuwabara at that time relied the Kuwabara spell, and the land of Kuwabara is said to have remained unthundered by doing so.


Actually found this when looking for more on The Aristocrats... LOL
