Little known fact: if you know someone who's going to kiss the Blarney Stone, they can kiss it in proxy for you!

I've never asked...I've just been told not to kiss it because it's covered in pee, and I was told this by locals in Ireland. (I've also seen that in just about every guide book out there.) Aside from the fact that it must have at least 500 years worth of people's lips on it, and you have to hang backwards with someone holding on to you 300ft above the ground. (done any chin-ups recently?)
And kissing the Blarney stone only gives you the gift of gab, not good luck.
So many people think it's good luck...
