My adviser shares space with another faculty member and I am friends with that faculty member's grad student.
Tuesday around noon I was suddenly filled with the certainty that my friend's adviser was pregnant, and I told him that while we were waiting for our yoga class to start Tuesday evening.
Today in lab meeting, his adviser announced that she is about 3 months pregnant.
I don't actually think I'm psychic but more likely, I subconsciously picked up on some subtle cues. But I do think it's a sign I should go to medical school.

Purveyors of Fine Brand Loyalty Since 2004
I remember reading about how in certain parts of Asia and in Macedonia, people use cormorants to catch fish.
The fisherman uses a ring or tie on the bird's neck so it won't be able to swallow the fish it catches.
Every seventh fish the fisherman has to give to the cormorant or else the bird will stop fishing.
And if I remember correctly, after a few years, the cormorant won't fish for the fisherman any more.
The cormorant would rather starve than lose all but the seventh fish.
Except maybe that last part isn't true.
