Lucky? that depends how you look at it. In the First World War it was considered very unlucky. Nobody would take a third light from a match for a cigarette. It was because they thought the third man would get the bullet. 1 The sniper would see them 2 He would aim 3 He would fire his rifle. Result one dead or wounded soldier

Numbers are funny things. Different cultures consider different numbers lucky or unlucky for their own reasons. I know that my mother (Anglo-Celtic) always thought three was unlucky.

Human beings are always trying to make order out of chaos. That is why they are obsessed with numbers.
