    Default Good luck

    Since I started one about superstitions, here's one about good luck.

    My mom always told me growing up that if youdrive inder the incline tracks (this one is for pittsburghers) while the incline was over top of you it's good luck.

    Do you guys have any other "good luck" type things you beleive in?

    Find a penny, pick it up, and all the day you'll have good luck.





    this also supercedes any ill-effects of stepping on a sidewalk crack, so you'll be o.k. mom, I promise !!

    In Argentina, there is an old country saying that if a bird shits on you its good luck.


    Good luck it didn't land on your face or mouth.

Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!”

    I've heard that one too. I think it was made up by people who had a friend get shat on so they didn't feel too bad.

    We always put money outside the door on New Years. Its supposed to be brought in by a young man. The idea is that it will bring money into your home for the up coming year.

    Another thing that I learned, that isn't exactly good luck, but I always thought was cool. It is an old tradition that when you give someone a knife as a gift you always give them some money with it (usually a penny). Apparently giving someone a knife was like asking them to fight, so you give money as well to assure them that it is a gift.

    I heard that one too, but it was specifically about the Foo bird, and if it landed on you, it was considered bad luck to wash it off. It was an old Spanish proverb, but I think the way it translated from Spanish to English was.....








































    If the Foo shits, wear it!
