In May's Uncanny Japan you get three Japanese superstitions and why:
1)Please don't cut your nails at night.
2)Please don't whistle at night.
3) Please do kill spiders at night...or don't, actually you might not want to. There's a good argument why you should let those night spiders live.
Notes: The intro/outro music of Uncanny Japan is a song by Christiaan Virant (“Yi Gui” from Ting Shuo). The whole album is just gorgeous as it everything else by FM3.
