Now I realize not everyone here is from the US, nor is necessarily interested in the SuperBowl, but I thought I'd share the following "information" with you.
I have recieved 3 superbowl omens in my time.
The year was 2000
The vikings faced the New York Giants in the NFC championship game.
The night before I dreamt the Vikings won the game with a final score of 114-0. Now, I'm an avid Vikings fan and so my subconscious mind was too stubborn to accept the reality of the situation. The next day the Giants won the game 41-0. Do you see the irony here? Read 114-0 backwards and drop the last 1. Okay, moving on.
Superbowl 40, the Steelers vs The Seahawks.
A week before the game I saw the letters "XL" written in the sky by the contrails of jet airplanes. XL is the roman numeral for 40. It also made me think of Jerome Bettis, an extra-large running back for the steelers. Based on this, I concluded correctly that the Steelers would win the Superbowl.
And now Superbowl 43. The Steelers vs the Cardinals.
Today on the floor of my workplace I found a euro, tails-side-up, and the one ring (it looks like the ring from the "lord of the rings" movies). The back side of a euro features a large bird - cardinals are birds. The steelers already have 5 superbowl rings, and if the cards win they will have 1. I take this to mean the Cardinals will win the Superbowl.
As you can see, a pattern of prediction has emerged. Thank you. ;D
