Masonic term
According to ex-Freemason Bill Schnoebelen in the video interview "Interview with an Ex-Vampire", the term originates as a masonic expression. It goes back to an incident when a man who wanted to get in on the secrets of Freemasonry hung from the eaves of the lodge building and fell down and hurt himself. __meco 10:32, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
