Answer 2

Hawaii could be the 50th state of the United States of America and is located nearly at the hub of the North Pacific Ocean issue that produces from Hawaii a very good option for a fantastic holiday, with hotelbye you will learn more. The organic beauty of the hawaiian islands remains among Hawaii's best assets. One of the most exciting places to visit in Hawaii is Volcanoes National Park. This bunch offers a unique, close up look at a dynamic volcano and the new landscape made by a volcano. Hot lava runs down the hill part, and dry lava addresses the street, featuring their unstoppable force. Yet another place worth visit could be the memorial Visitors Center, a hub that delivers famous home elevators the Harbor and the Japanese strike and the Battleship USS Missouri.

Answer 3

I always heard you said "rabbit rabbit" on that day to get all the person's luck for the rest of the month. I don't know where it came from at all, it's probably been mutated so much it's origin has become lost.

All I know is that rabbits are considered lucky, and probably have something to do with luck in fertility. Just at a guess.

Answer 4

There are two basic theories (with numerous variations) surrounding the creation of good luck for the next month, the Rabbit / Rabbit / Rabbit theory and the competing White Rabbit / White Rabbit / White Rabbit Theory. Or is it "Bad Rabbit" from England?

This was a big controversy at the Lab (and indeed persists around the world) as the theories are not only competing, but also mutually exclusive. Is it good luck to repeat (like a mantra) the phrase Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit as your first words on the first day of the month, or should one say White Rabbit, White Rabbit, White Rabbit ... Or the Last utterance? And why does anyone care? Why Indeed?

Is it carnivorous (stealing others' luck) or gentle (getting better luck)? Izzy think it sounds like transliterated Hebrew, meaning "month abundant" or more simply "(have a) great month". Jan has proposed no fewer than 10 Rules! A Flemish Giant buck rabbit ties it into Watership Down. Kevin writes of a tradition in the US military. Ted quotes Shakespeare. Heather will send you monthly Alerts.

It is quite amazing, but a lot do care! Check out these Rabid Rabbiters ... Really, if you don't find this fascinating, even alien, you just might be dead.

How Old is This Thing? More than I bet you thought! Pat in Springfield MA tells of "a girl who worked in our office at that time who practiced the tradition since the early forties". Dayle first heard about this sweet superstition at sleep-away summer camp in Maine about 35 years ago. Peg tells of her mother using it as a child in the late 1800's in Kentucky! Gerald dates it from England before 1918, and suspects it came over from Normandy with William I. Dick believes his father (age 86 in 2001) got it from an uncle in 1922, and the uncle caught it in the First World War.

Location? Okinawans suspect it originated in New Zealand. Rostall heard of it as a young child in Spain. A Massachusetts man in Hawaii was introduced to the concept in Athens Greece from a woman from St Louis in 1972. Many strands trace it to England. Jenni in Yorkshire UK says "White Rabbits, White Rabbits, Rabbits, Rabbits, White Rabbits", while her mother also in Yorkshire said White Rabbits just twice at New Year.

Answer 5

Never heard of saying Rabbits at the begining of the month i guess for luck

Answer 6

My teenaged kids did that all the time. It has been a game, of sorts, to see who could remember to say rabbit, rabbit, first, at the beginning of the month. I don't know who started it, nor why.

Answer 7

A rabbits foot is considered good luck, so the theory is that saying white rabbit, when someone does `pinch punch first day of the month` you remain unharmed, while karma works on them!

Someone said it to me when I was a kid, then less than two minutes later... I fractured my wrist.

Go figure ^*^

Answer 8

You should say lucky white rabbits at the beginning of the month for protection and good luck throughout the coming month, its a old superstition or myth, I think people couldn't get out of bed at one time because of all the superstitions they had to think about doing it, make your own luck and worry less, good luck.
