Can you expand on the icicle event? I have never heard that story.

Remember the talk of
"omens" when a couple of birds attacked the
Pope's "peace doves?" Remember when Maharishi
mistook an icicle on his balcony for Shiva?
New research suggests that the brains of many people are
naturally susceptible to projecting meaning onto meaningless
events and considering them omens. Unless their brains are
working more efficiently, that is, and exercising cognitive
inhibition.
