Rabbits have been a symbol of prosperity for ages. No other mammals multiply as fast as the rabbits and hares. Of course, having many children would be a great blessing. The rabbit was also considered a lucky talisman to increase wealth. In some areas of Northern Europe, it is a tradition to give a child a white rabbit as a gift. This gift is to ensure the child has a
prosperous life.
In North America, a rabbit’s foot has been for the longest time considered a lucky charm.
The strong believers of this superstition say it has to be the left foot of the rabbit. For a left rabbit’s foot to bring luck, it has to be carried in the left pocket. It could not be any old rabbit’s foot. Rabbit’s foot as a good luck charm was especially popular among gamblers. Until today, many superstitious gamblers would rather not go into a casino unless they have a rabbit’s foot in their pocket.

How do you feel about clusters of small holes? Does the look of baby Swiss cheese make you feel sick? What about the little air bubbles in a frying pancake, the patterns of the coral, or a lotus pod? Do those above make you throw up a little in your mouth? Well then, you may havetrypophobia--the fear of clusters of small holes.
The term “trypophobia” appeared in the mid-2000s on the Internet. Recently some
psychologists found that the most offending images shared a common mathematical structure-- they featured lots of small, highly-contrasting details, like stripes, dots, or holes, and were often spaced closely. For example, in a lotus pod, there's a strong contrast between the dark holes and the light surface, and the holes are spaced evenly enough to highlight those details. This kind of image creates a repeating sequence and makes some people want to puke. Some animals like the blue-ringed octopus, some venomous spiders and snakes might give people the same feeling.
Such images probably trigger something in the non-conscious brain that lights up a warning, saying "Dangerous!" before the conscious brain can step in and say, "It's just Swiss cheese."
