I usually pick up coins, regardless of which way they're facing... I never believed in that "heads-up good-luck" superstition.

Terra: I even remember AOL diskettes, too! I would always reformat them and use them as my own data diskettes back when my Performa was my main computer. =P

I belive in good luck for finding coins, no matter which direction it is. (Plus, it's free money, after all )

We had a few, I think for version 2.5. I think I put Kroz or something on 1 of them, then made a makeshuft floppy disk label out of those little garage sale price stickers

I also remember them being white when most of our floppies were black, light grey, or blue. Of course, then they came out with the pretty rainbow ones

And I agree that free money is lucky in any direction. At one point, I noticed that I probably found more in discarded $0.01 coins on the ground than I got in interest on my savings.

Not sure if it fits in here, but I've found thinking negative thoughts about things I dislike leads them to bad ends.

There was also the weird incident where board 2's server's hard drive head crashed when I was thinking how I was so fed up with that situation (think of the drama 3 years ago, right now I don't care anymore, and if anyone tries to pretend I do, they will most definitely be cursed :p ) that I wanted that in particular to happen, and the other time I made S&T's hands hurt by thinking of it. I didn't ask him--he began complaining about it without me saying a thing.

Also, things which injure me seem to get cursed. The dog which bit my face off died a horrible death of leukemia, the aunt who owned the dog (and cared more about it than me) died unnaturally early of a freak Billy Mays style heart attack, the bike I always flew off of and crashed into the street with got run over by a car, and my father was riding it (he also tended to annoy me, but not so much; he got a stubbed toe.) The principal of my school who made my life horrible wound up in prison for a while, and in the freakiest example, a member who spent all his time driving me off my first message board died as well (although he was ill beforehand--I suspect he hated me mostly because of my optimism, which was probably an insult to his own rather unfortunate fate--although I still don't care for him as a person, as much as I never wished him to die).

In general, dice and luck things behave oddly around me and I have abnormal luck with injuries; whenever I get one, generally it's not as bad as it could be. I evade things like busted ankles, fly down stairs and into streets, and all without serious injury.

So, yeah. I'm like some sort of luck singularity. Whether or not I try to avoid it, weird stuff like that goes on.

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
