i had no idea what a caul was..google said "It is deemed lucky to be with a caul or membrane over the face. This caul is esteemed an infallible preservative against drowning . . . According to Chysostom, the midwives frequently sold it for magic uses." --Grose. as for me..no idea.

I was born with a caul. It was said that sailors deemed them very valuable when they were at sea. it is said that the caul would see them home safetly. In my case it was disposed of by a nurse who had no idea what it was.

Joe Dolce single handedly brought down apartheid and gave the aboroginees their voice back in Australia. What have _you_ done Mark?

The Russian phrase "родился в рубашке" (literally "born in a shirt") refers to caul birth and figuratively means "born lucky". It is often applied to someone who is oblivious to a pending disaster that is avoided only through luck as if the birth caul persists as supernatural armor, and in this sense commonly appears in titles or descriptions of Russian dashcam videos.
