Curious Customs - Do you know why we throw rice at weddings or why we drive on the right hand side of the road? Symbol Origins - Do you know why a rabbit's foot and a horseshoe are considered good luck? Back to the Drawing Board - Did you know that inventions were actually patented that could tip your hat without touching it, or move a flying saucer across the sky?
