GOOD LUCK FLAG FOR SALE - AGAIN

A factory owner with money troubles climbed on the roof of his building in central Thailand to raise a flag believed to ward off bad luck — then slipped and fell to his death. Boonchai Lotharakphong, 43, whose factory made sportswear for Nike, died when he slipped off the roof in Lopburi province, 70 miles (113km) north of Bangkok . He had been sold the flag by a Chinese fortune teller. Associated Press, 15 Nov 2003.
