Cruithne is an asteroid in orbit around the Sun in 1:1 orbital resonance with that of the Earth. It is a periodic inclusion planetoid orbiting the Sun in an apparent horseshoe orbit. It has been called "Earth's second moon", although it is only a quasi-satellite. (wiki)

HIP HIP HOOOOOORAY !!

...green horseshoe lucky760 ??

That guy with the beard pounding nails through a board with his bare hands just before the title is Joseph Greenstein, "The Mighty Atom". He was a truly remarkable character. There is a biography of him by Ed Spielman which is worth reading.

Greenstein was very spiritual and all of his feats of strength were done, as he said, with mind over matter.

When Spielman met him, Greenstein was 82-years-old, 5'4" and was straightening horseshoes, bending steel bars across the bridge of his nose and hammering spikes through planks.

I've never seen a film of him before though I've seen many still photos.

Thanks for this.

I couldn't resist posting the part about "Horseshoes" and "Faeries":

Another theory concerning the placing of horseshoes above doorways is to ward off Faeries (the Celtic kind); the theory being that Faeries are repelled by iron and as horseshoes were an easily available source of iron, they could be nailed above a door to prevent any unwanted, otherworldly guests. One can see how the custom, as people began to forget the stories concerning the Fair Folk, eventually morphed into a simple good luck charm. It is also possible that the Romans, when arriving in Celtic countries, came across horseshoes nailed above doors and simply borrowed the concept of horseshoes as good luck charms, failing to understand the background of the Celtic custom, and made their use more widespread.

From Wikipedia on "Horseshoes":

"Horseshoes are considered a good luck charm in many cultures. A common tradition is that if a horseshoe is hung on a door with the two ends pointing up (as shown here) then good luck will occur. However, if the two ends point downwards then bad luck will occur. Traditions do differ on this point, though. In some cultures, the horseshoe is hung points down (so the luck pours onto you); in others, it is hung points up (so the luck doesn't fall out); still in others it doesn't matter so long as the horseshoe has been used (not new), was found (not purchased), and can be touched. In all traditions, luck is contained in the shoe and can pour out through the ends."
