(and I'm like, "how do you know?"
Him: "because the malach said 'you'll have a son and name him yishmael.'
Me: "okay thanks"
Him: "why do you want to know?"
Me: "because it's bchadash's Torah riddle")

Ok. I can mainly only think of the Rashis that I taught...
There's a Rashi in Shemos that says that Pharoah's stargazers saw that the savior of the Jews will be born. (Leading Pharoah to say kol haben hayilod...)
Also, Rashi says there is a star that is named Raah. Evil. ( Pharoah saw this star and thought it meant the Jews will die in the mid bar but really ot was the dam mila)
