Any other languages use something similar?

Put simply, no.  It is just the placebo effect - good things happening will be attributed to feng shui, but there is absolutely no way of knowing that having a piece of furniture in a different place has caused a physical change in the world - other than possibly avoiding stubbed toes.

Well, I hesitate to disagree but my experience of feng shui is a bit different. When I went to take charge of a Young & Rubicam advertising agency in Hong Kong years ago, the outgoing English Managing Director told me that when they moved in to their current brand new glossy offices 3 years earlier they started losing business hand over fist. Haemorrhaging. Couldn't understand why.

Then the Chinese Financial Director suggested they call in a feng shui shaman friend of his and, after a lot of expensive thought and consideration, the feng shui man said "Rebuild the front door and angle it to the left so it faces the sea (ie Hong Kong Harbour) and the mountains beyond Kowloon and put two carved stone lions either side of the door".

Which they did...and business started booming. Coincidence? Probably. But it makes you think.

Nice answer Jacques but I don't think mozzies count as parasites. Bliddy nuisances, yes. But parasites, no.

I define a 'parasite' as... "An organism that lives on (or in) and feeds on an organism of a different species and causes harm and eventually death to its host." Such as lice, ticks, mites, flukes, tapeworms and other prehistoric nasties.

Mozzies just bite for a while and fly off, they don't live on and feed on an organism of another species until they kill it.

Have any prehistoric fossilised parasites ever been found? Such as 30 metre long tapeworms inside Tyrannosaurus Rexes? Or dead fossilised giant lice the size of skateboards crawling in the fur on fossilised Woolly Mammoths?

Wasn't a mosquito found inside some amber ? Preserved rather than fossilised, but since the amber is a fossil, I think the mossy was too ? Or am I working on the plot to a well known film? DNA and all that.

Solicitor is waiting for searches to come back - the title plan is a bit peculiar.  I do like the idea of a pavement toll-booth, though...
