Adam's Apple

This one's based on mythology. Folktales explained that Adam shouldn't have taken the apple from Eve in the Garden of Eden. When he yielded to her temptation, a piece of fruit stuck on the way down. Ever since, it has moved when men eat or talk in order to warn: "Beware of the temptress."
