Trivial Facts

Let's talk about some trivial nothings.  First, unusual deaths: 

Attila the Hun
453 AD --- bled to death from a nosebleed on his wedding night.

Sir Francis Bacon
1626 --- pneumonia. He was experimenting with freezing a chicken by stuffing it with snow.

Catherine the Great - Empress of Russia
1796 --- a stroke, while going to the bathroom.

Now, if you're still alive, you must be having a good day.  Let's move on to superstitions:

Acorn - An acorn should be carried to bring good luck and ensure long life.

Door - It's bad luck to leave through a different door than you came in. (I never knew this one.  It explains so much.)

Lizard - To dream of a lizard is a sign that you have a secret enemy.  (I don't dream of lizards.  Good thing I guess.)

Hope this brought a little cheer to your day.
