   Hi! Alexander,

    ak> Can an englishman catch luck by its tail?   
      
   My Irish heritage wants me to utter "I hope not!" but I'll restrain myself.    
   -)   
      
   It should be Englishman, BTW.  And, 'lucky' is named for which beastie?    
   (Swinging cat o' nine tails is a different thing altogether, BTW.)   
      
   I remember a cat called 'Lucky' in an old TV show called ALF (Alien Life   
   Form).  It was lucky indeed!  (ALF didn't like cats, you see, and kept   
   inventing ways of doing away with it).   
      
   Oops, I'm stuck on cats... better stop.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
