Ilaynay's post of the killer dress is an old take off of the ancent story of the cursed kimono of japan that allegadly sparked off the great fire that nearly wiped out tokyo. Story goes: a young bride recives a kimono for her wedding, upon trying it on, she dies, the kimono is then passed on and each girl that recives it, dies. the garment it's self is belived to be cursed by priests and they decide to burn it, hot embers from the burnt kimono is caught by the wind and sparked the fire that leveled tokyo (that at the time was all wooden structures) and killed thousands of people and destroyed much of the city.
