the horseshow in mom's garage not hung for luck, it's just been chucked there for storage.

But let me comment a tad more...

In the family, the tradition was to hang the horseshoes like that, and I had one at home in that same position.

Panky's BF once told me the orientation vs luck thingie, which I has always been utterly oblivious to.

Now, let me remind the unaware public that I have a scientific university degree and that I am a born experimenter...

Because of that remark, the Rutherford (or Richard Feynman) in me started ticking so I decided to flip the horseshoe it unto it's more traditionally favored way, just for the sake of seeking scientific truth.

The result? Within a few days, all our sponsors crapped out on us, we got cheated by a triple-X-shaving outfit, we got hotlinked to the tune of 20 terabytes of transfer and our servers went haywire. That's just concerning the net business, for various and miscelaneous other misfortune hit the place.

So one day, maybe two weeks after the experimental flip, in full exasperation, if not desperation, I flipped it back to it's alledgedly unlucky side and well, things started to get better.

Now, you've got my full scientific report on horseshoe orientation.

So my mom's horseshoe will remain hung as it is.
