I encountered the counting of magpies fortune telling system earlier this afternoon when I finished reading "Stardust" by Neil Gaiman.
Thank you for sharing that though, it was an entertaining discussion.

Hey, there!
Fortune-telling by counting magpies also appears in _The Tale of One Bad Rat_ by Bryan Talbot (excellent graphic novel about sexual abuse). Apparently it also shows up in a Terry Pratchett novel though I can't remember which w/o Wikip'ing.
