Question

A Pigeon has just done it's business all down my back! Why do people keep telling me it's good luck?!?

Answer 1

In the last few centuries this has been a superstition, but in the times before Christ the dove (FYI a pigeon is a kind of grey dove) was the sacred

bird of Eros (aka Cupid) the god of love, and back then it meant you had Eros's blessing, it had evolved (mainly due to the spread of Christianity) that it is lucky rather then a blessing.

Answer 2

Well,imagine if it was an elephant!

Answer 3

It's good luck for the people who make laundry detergent.

Did you feel any better?

Answer 5

No idea where this thought of bird c**p as lucky originally comes from.....but once i was sat outside with my wallet open on a table and a pigeon flew over and crapped right in it.  A day or so later i got an unexpected tax refund for £300 :-) true story!
