The Cursing Stone, que reside em Carlisle, na Inglaterra.

'Cursing Stone' saved by council
The stone is inscribed with a 16th century curse.
> A granite artwork blamed for bringing misfortunes of "biblical proportions" to a city has been saved. Carlisle City Council rejected a proposal to destroy the stone, commissioned to mark the millennium.

Since the Cursing Stone was placed in Carlisle, the city has suffered floods, foot-and-mouth disease, job losses and a goal famine for the football team.
But council leader Mike Mitchelson said the decision proved the citizens of Carlisle were rational people.

Rape and pillage
The 14-tonne artwork - which stands between the city's castle and the museum - is carved with a 1,069-word curse invoked by the Archbishop of Glasgow in 1525.
At the time, the area around Carlisle was torn by fighting.
The archbishop is said to have placed the curse on cross border families - known as the "reivers" - who lived by stealing cattle. It begins: "I curse their heads and all the hairs on their head; I curse their face, their brain, their mouth, their nose, their tongue, their teeth, their forehead..."
The stone was designed by artist Gordon Young, whose own family was among the "reivers".
