As some of you may know, it's a Japanese poem that carries with it a purported curse. The author, having written it in 1919, said that "tragic things will happen" if you read it out loud. While I am a Christian, I'm generally pretty skeptical about "curses" and the like. I've never thought they had any substance to them, save the ones with verifiable demonic origins. I read in other places that if you read out loud, you may feel nausious or dizzy and disoriented while reading it... I read it to myself a little over two hours ago, and I feel sick to my stomach... Maybe, it's not just reading out loud that has effects.
