   blarney stone, a stone in blarney castle, ireland built in
      1446, said to make those who kiss it proficient in the

   note: the origin of the stone is uncertain. in order to kiss
         the blarney stone, which is located in the side of the
         castle, one must be held upside-down by the feet and
         lowered into the proper position from an opening in an
         overhang in the parapet. it is an experience eschewed
         by some tourists.
