Hi, plutarch! [blowing kiss e] Well, I don't see any problem with what the folk did, since it couldn't have had any effect on the outcome--didn't make a ridge in the ice, or anything like that. Guess I just revealed how much I believe in talismans, eh? Though I do know there is such a thing as a psychological advantage. Did either of the teams know about the presence of the Loonie? But personally, I can't really imagine that it would have made a whole lot of difference, even if the Canadian team knew about it and their opponents didn't.
Now--you have asked a question that I have often thought about: Does the victim of voodoo have to be aware that he is being voodooed before he can be voodoomized? The idea of someone trying a voodoo spell on me always makes me laugh, because a.) I don't believe in it, and b.) how on earth would I know? If anyone I'm acquainted with practices voodoo, I am unaware of it.
