Gloria Swanson sleeps with a miniature pyramid under her bed because, she says, it makes "every cell in my body tingle." James Coburn, after he meditates inside his pyramid tent, puts his cat and her kittens to bed over a nest of tiny pyramids, on the theory that the kittens may grow up in a unique way.
