QUESTION:
Which color is bad luck
when used to write or sign a name in Asia?
a) White
b) Red
c) Blue
d) Black
e) Green
ANSWERS:
a) White on, but not right
on. In fact, you're wrong. So I guess you
need to white out this answer. Is white even
a real color? Try again.
b) Correct. In ancient times the color red
was reserved for the dead. The names of the
deceased were written, painted, or engraved
in red on gravestones and plaques in the village
centers. Even today many traditional people
will get nervous if you write their name down
in red. To write a living person's name in
red means they will die soon or you want them
dead. Try this next time you write a letter
to your ex-lover.
c) You're wrong, but don't feel too blue!
d) Are you having a total Blackout in your
mind? Of course not black.
e) Don't be greedy. Money can't always buy
the right answer. Try or buy again!
