I did not know this
Apparently, Italian men grab their crotches for good luck.
"Anyone who has seen a hearse go past in Italy, or been part of a discussion in which some terrible illness or disaster is mentioned, will know it is traditional for men to ward off bad luck with a quick grab at what are delicately called their 'attributi'."
If I touch an Italian man's crotch, is that good luck for me or for him? It doesn't matter now, though, as public crotch grabbing is now outlawed in Italy, Towleroad reports.

Another thing I found out today: Bookshelves are just like Facbook. EzraKlein Archives, Nerd World, and Inside Higher Ed tells us that "bookshelves are a medium of social interaction... a format for the 'performance of self,'"
"The reading of those books is entirely incidental. The question becomes how we'll project all of this when Kindles takes off and all our books are digital." says Ezra Klein.
I'm poor so I don't have a book shelf. Is this why I'm a social outcast and can't get laid?
