        You have to scratch the right part of the prostate with it. That’s where most people get it wrong.

        Only rhino milk. Coincidentally the key ingredient in printer ink - hence the absurd prices.

      Not saying they aren’t superstitious, but i have never heard of the act of throwing coins into a jet engine as part of any superstition.

        It’s not that they’re specifically throwing coins at the engine, but that the superstition is to chuck some coins at a thing to try and get some luck on your side. Like a mix of wishing well and good luck charm.

        The engine is probably because it’s accessible, and they’re unlikely to miss when hitting it. You also just don’t hear stories from people who do chuck a coin at the wing, or into the cabin, because it doesn’t cause any problems, so doesn’t make news.
