Of course, there was never any documented proof...just the "my brother's best friend's cousin that is married to the guy who delivers boxes that the shoe company uses to put the shoes in" told me so.
The glove doesn't have Mercury, but it does have Venus, Saturn and, you guessed it, Uranus. Be ESPECIALLY careful around Uranus. It could cause you a whole !$#@load of problems.
