It is said that during his election campaign, Grover Cleveland carried a rabbit foot from an animal killed on the grave of outlaw Jesse James.
Rabbit's feet are also considered lucky when associated with the dead body of a criminal – the more wicked the criminal, the more powerful the charm. The idea of a rabbit’s foot connection with good luck goes back thousands of years.Ĭarrying this charm or talisman is supposed to bring the rabbit's agility to dart swiftly out of danger, along with the rabbit's infamous fertility. I wonder if the winner of the $2 billion lottery prize clutched a rabbit foot for luck when buying the winning ticket.
