And that the only way to save the unborn baby from not dieing is if the mom is wearing red underwear and a safety pin on it. Is that true or only a myth?

If that were true there would be mad panic in the hospitals everytime there was an eclipse. Sounds like a loud of crap to me.

this is so waaaaaaayyy out there! It's funny to think there are still stories like this! thanks for the chuckle, but no dear, it's definately chock full of hooey. I just finished reading Stephen King's "Delores Claiborne," which is about a woman who kills her husband during a solar eclipse, and there were some notes about ecilpses in the front of it. I can't remember exactly what it said, but it said that solar eclipses only happen every hundred years, or something like that. And since they last only 15-30 mins, I highly doubt that any of this would be recorded as relevant information...not when there are so many other fascinating things about it! I DID find out that you can kill your husband during one, because at that time, the whole town is looking at the sky, so one could get away with murder (pun intended!)
I already know that another eclipse will not happen in any of our lifetimes, so no need for my husband to worry....if you read some of my q's and a's you'd see why I say this....hahaha
And the red underwear with the safety pin is too cute! I love it! It's so nice to know there are still pure and innocent minds that can dream these kind of dreams....stay gold Ponyboy! Stay gold! ("The Outsiders," by S.E. Hinton)

it's absolutely true. But it has to be polka dot underwear and a RED safety pin. And she has to floss her butt with a live eel just before the moon covers the sun. If it's a son she's covering with her moon. If it's a daughter, carrots up the nose will do. But it's best to be on the safe side and do and wear all of it, otherwise, she might give birth to a hermaphrodite moron that would fall for a troll like this, and as any fool can plainly see, we have enough of them already.
Hope this help!

that sound like the biggest bunch of BS. i was kinda on the fence when i read the questions just clicked to see an answer. the part about wearing a red underwear and a safety pin saving it sealed the deal. that kind of stuff is not real.

It's only if the mother has had any bat tongue or essence of warthog soup within the previous fortnight.
Even then, there's only danger if the baby was conceived on the day of the vernal equinox of the 65th year, while wearing a pinecone helmet and while lying on a unicorn pelt.

Considering there are at typically 2 eclipses every year, and the gestation period for a child is 9.5 months, well, we wouldn't have any babies at all, then, would we. Or even if there was 1 eclipse a year, we'd be losing 3/4ths of all the babies to be born that year...so this hasn't been true for the past 10,000 years.

particular she could be charged be because of the fact she knew what she became into doing if she knew she didnt prefer the child she ought to of had an abortion or gave the child up for adoption yet no rather she harms the child, human beings like this do no longer need to even have toddlers this variety of unhappy tale and yet another existence misplaced

In the language of pschology what you are describing is called "magical thinking."
You fogot the part about the full moon...
