the evidence is strong

Mr. Spooky, looking for paths to cross.
Luck. It can pushed, pressed, and tried. It can be prayed for, hoped against, and trusted upon.

Ultimately, when we speak of luck, both good and ill, what we're really discussing is an after-the-fact assessment of the laws of probability. They can no more be negotiated with (through ritual, fetish, or prayer) than any other impartial force of nature...

...despite what the desperate throng of supplicants who've made the pilgrimage to Keno Mart's lottery kiosk would otherwise believe. Hope may spring eternal, but that's only because the soil of self-delusion is perpertually fertile.
