   “The carving of vegetables has been a common practice in many parts of the world. It is believed that the custom of making jack-o’-lanterns at Halloween time began in Ireland and Britain. In the 19th century, “turnips or mangel wurzels, hollowed out to act as lanterns and often carved with grotesque faces,” were used on Halloween in parts of Ireland, Wales and the Scottish Highlands.

   The name comes from the phenomenon of strange lights flickering over peat bogs, called jack-o’-lanterns (also known as will-o’-the-wisps). It is suggested that the name also has ties to the Irish legend of Stingy Jack, a drunkard who bargains with Satan and is doomed to roam the Earth with only a hollowed turnip to light his way.

   Jack-o’-lanterns carved from pumpkins are a yearly Halloween tradition that developed in the United States when Irish, Cornish, Scottish and other Celtic influenced immigrants brought their root vegetable carving traditions with them."

   Secret to get rid of earworms is to sing a short commercial jingle like alka seltzer’s “Plop, plop, fizz, fizz, oh what a relief it is”. Jingles are too short to become earworms.

   Try it the next time you can’t get a song out of your head.
