Humanity has concocted some bizarre superstitions over the centuries, but the one about it being considered lucky for a baby to be born with a "caul" (part of the placenta wrapped around its head at birth) has got to the one of the wackiest.
Such a boy is born at the start of The Devil and His Three Golden Hairs, the latest installment in American McGee's Grimm. The tale traces his charm-filled travels, culminating with a visit to Hell to pluck three golden hairs off of the devil himself as a gift to convince the king he's good enough to marry the princess.
