Yep, the dude above is right (I think, I didn't read it completely, too long I almost fell asleep!) but anyhow, it's not only the birds, for example if you fall from a plane or something and grab unto one of those lines then you wouldn't hurt yourself, but for example if you grabbed one line with one hand and another line with the other than that would be it for you...

Because it took him to the other side of the road and he knew better than to use the road since the chicken got flattened on that.\n\nThis is hilarious.  The most asked question and you can't even get it right LMFAO.  Or are you claiming aardvarks prefer rods over roads?

Just a quirk of history.  As to safety, there's really no difference.  In places where folks drive on "the other side," the driver is also "on the other side."  This means that visibility remains the same.

It seems to make sense to me. If we think about it, this could be a reason why we tend to see the Virgin Mary on toast and rabbits in clouds - or minds evolved to do that. Living in caves, when we heard a tree branch snap, we mistook it for a wandering lion approaching - it served to keep us alert and alive. Mistaking a lion for a tree branch isnt so useful to survival... So I can see how the mind could have adapted a beleif in external forces affecting our lives.
