Blades and horseshoes??!!

While we are at it, The horse shoe pointing up is supposed to ward off the evil eye by representing the cresent shape of the moon. Empirically this is all baloney! Of course that hasn't stopped me from having a "found" shoe under the floor mat of my truck(s) for the last twenty some years.

Scientifically yours

Jeff

P.S. a modern shoe uses 8 nails.

LOL!

Right on Jeff! you can never be too careful ! and since the modern shoes use 8 nails, they gotta be even luckier?!!!
So perhaps the horseshoe upright has something to do with the crescent moons that typically show up on the talismanic blades? Maybe we're onto something

All the best,
your fellow scientist
