People in the ’60s determined their children’s futures not by faith or psychics, but by the power of their burps. In 1964, a man named Dr. Milton Berger told an international gathering of psychiatrists in London that babies’ burps could predict their future. According to the doctor, it was all about the strength of the belches. The bigger the burp, the more likely the infant would become a good leader someday. This theory has ultimately been disproven. Nevertheless, keep those babies belching!
