That's such crap (pardon the pun)--I hate it when people take something bad and try to pretend that it's actually good by claiming it's "good luck." Like the Italians say it's good luck when it rains on your wedding day. No, honey, that's just what they're telling you so you don't cry and smear your makeup. And when I was in high school, a Chinese friend of mine told me that traditionally in China it was good luck to find broken eggshell pieces in your baking. I asked her why all the women in China were in denial about being terrible cooks. [/rant]
