Kim
Kim asked Jacob M. Appel:

in ref to the Vermin Episode... I can understand about covering mirrors when one passes on, but what's the superstition (?) about stopping the clocks? Also out of curiosity sake is it a Jewish superstition, or something based in the Czech republic (or Slavic countries) and what is 'goy' (I think it was written in italics in the story)

Robert Blumenthal
