Nábrókarstafur

No matter how creepy I think my ideas are, the world surprises me in it's creepiness:

"you must dig up his body and flay the skin of the corpse in one piece from the waist down. As soon as you step into the pants they will stick to your own skin. A coin must be stolen from a poor widow and placed in the scrotum along with the magical sign, nábrókarstafur, written on a piece of paper. Consequently the coin will draw money into the scrotum so it will never be empty, as long as the original coin is not removed."
 Go here for latex replica of said pants and more context.  So much for my October of light hearted blogging.

  2. Some of the curses from the Icelandic "Galdrabok" are awesome to work into games. My favorite is the farting curse.
