Is there a list of old wives tales to predict gender?

Here is what I have found so far:

HEART BEAT
A baby with a heart beat under 140 beats a minute is a boy, and a baby with 140 or over beats a minute is a girl.

CHINESE GENDER PREDICTER

SWEET OR SOUR?
Because girls are naturally sweet, if you’re carrying one, you’ll crave sweet foods; boys, being made of snips and snails and puppy dogs’ tails, make you crave sour and salty foods.

MORNING SICKNESS
According to the Gospels, you’re sicker in the first three months with a girl than with a boy, but a boy causes pain after the first trimester. But according to current medical professionals, if you suffer badly from morning sickness (a horrible misnomer if there ever was one) or are ill throughout your pregnancy, you’re more likely to be carrying a girl.

BODY WEIGHT
Another gender prediction theory that can be conducted by simply looking at a pregnant woman, this one rests on the idea that when you are pregnant with a girl, you hold your extra baby weight on your bum and hips (something to do with these being the parts of the body being where women usually stack on the weight). If, however, you're pregnant with a boy, all your extra baby weight will be at the front on your belly.

THE WAY YOU WALK
Walk with your right foot first, you’re having a boy; the opposite, you’re having a girl. This was according to the Distaff Gospels again—a wonderful source for medically questionable stunners, some of which were, if not exactly prescient or accurate, at least well-intentioned: For example, the Gospels cautioned that if at the hour of conception, “neither feels affectionate love for the other, a female of bitter disposition is born.”

FAT DADDY?
According to myth, if the father piles on the pounds during the mother’s pregnancy, then she’s carrying a girl

ONE RING TO BIND THEM…
Perhaps the most popular gender determination myth is that a gold ring suspended on a string over a pregnant woman’s belly will tell you what she’s carrying by how it swings: Side to side for a boy, circular for a girl.

HOW YOU’RE CARRYING
According to the very ancient lore, if you’re carrying a lower bump, it’s going to be a boy; if it’s higher, it’s a girl.

BODY CLUES
Legends say that if you are having a little girl, she'll steal your beauty. So, if you've got acne and other not-so-pretty skin blemishes, you've got a little princess coming your way.
Dry hands and cold feet are signs of a boy. So, if you've got these ailments, break out the baby blue.
 
Here's a list of some another member had posted on a thread I'm following:

If your previous child's back hairline is straight, it's the same sex. If it's pointed, it's the opposite sex
