Yes, probably. But would he make it look like a coincidence?

Here's another ASOUE related piece of luck trivia: Seeing a single crow is very unlucky. But 2 mean good luck! 3 means health, 4 means wealth, 5 is sickness & 6 mean death! One for sorrow, two for joy. Three for a girl, four for a boy. Five for silver, Six for gold. Seven for a secret never to be told. But my version only works on magpies. Aww. |

I've heard that same version applied to crows, and the last couple lines are sometimes given as "five for heaven, six for hell, and seven for the devil's own self". Or "five for rich, six for poor, seven for a witch--I can tell you no more". There are most likely other versions, but those are the ones I recall right now.

I don't think I have ever heard of these crow poems. But I like them. Hooray for 142 days! It doesn't seem so far away now. |

Black cats are considered bad luck. Never allow one to cross your path. 103 days until 141 days until (Hey, Sora, can you do something about your signature? It's kinda big. The guidelines are for a total of 200 pixels high. You're way over that. Thanks.) |

To spill matches is a very lucky sign. (I wonder if that includes if you spill matches while commiting arson.) 102 days until 140 days until (Thanks, Sora, for fixing your sig. I also reduced your countdown to not distract from the Official countdown. You might want to recalculate your numbers. It is actually 14 weeks and 4 days for TBL and exactly 20 weeks for The End.) |
