Hey, incase anyone else was curious!

So why do we cross our fingers for luck? - I got it off google.

There are a number of curious gestures and sayings in our modern society that leave us scratching our heads. Apparently, we have superstitious folk in merry old England to thank for the peculiar practice of crossing our fingers for luck

You were indeed. I bow to your superiority

It's also kinda like when you sneeze and people say "Bless you" it's because during the plague people would go into violent sneezing or coughing fits right before they DIED. So it was your last chance to bless them before they collapsed dead right there in the street.

Kinda like that. But not quite.

I bet you knew that already anyhow. Probably because I've told you before. Or you just knew. ^____^

ahaha. I did not know that actually.

Now I'll never be able to say "bless you" or cross my fingers the same way again.

Yay for Lani and her random facts!
