When people tell someone: "Good luck", that person will often have bad luck.
People would get on stage and they would either mess up their performance or fall down and get injured. Or similar bad things would happen.
The actor would come off stage when the show was over and accuse their friends of putting a curse on them by saying "Good luck". They would be really mad at their friends for putting that curse on them with their kind words.
So, people started saying just the opposite. Rather than wishing them good luck and risk cursing them and making them fail, they wished them bad luck, by telling them to "Break a leg".
The reason was, because, when they said: Good luck, it often had the opposite affect. Then the performer was mad at them and said it was their fault.
People figured that by wishing them bad luck, that will hopefully have the opposite affect to. So, the performer will not blame them for causing them to fail.
This was a really long time ago when people started to do this. The tradition never died. People have been doing this ever since. Until now, almost nobody knew why!

Fidget Spinners.
Fidget spinners were invented as both a fun toy for children and adults and for people with Autism, ADHD and similar disorders. If people with ADHD or Autism get annoyed, frustrated or distracted or have a meltdown, they can use a Fidget Spinner to help themself calm down.
However, I have both: ADHD and Asperger's (A form of high functioning Autism). Fidget Spinners don't really help calm me down. It doesn't help me pay attention either. If anything, it can be more distracting for me if I already am distracted.
The lady who invented the Fidget Spinner, Catherine Hettinger, was broke one day and she couldn't afford the $400 renewal fee on her Patent. So she sold the patent for a very low price. It was only about $300 or less! That was a big mistake! As popular as they are now, people all over the world are buying Millions of them! The person who bought the patent is a Millionaire. Imagine if you owned the Patent and you made $1 off each one that was sold. If you sold 10,000,000 of them, that's a lot of money!
Catherine Hettinger actually invented the Fidget Spinner in the 1980s as a toy for children. Then, she noticed it has the ability to calm people down. After she sold the Patent and noticed how successful it became, she was not disappointed, but really excited to see her invention doing so well.
Some schools in the US and Europe have banned them in school. However some children get a note from either a Doctor or Psychologist, saying they have a disorder such like Autism or ADHD and Teachers need to allow them to use a Fidget Spinner in class.
For some people, they can be very helpful if they are Autistic and they have a meltdown. But, not only do people with ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorders use them, but, these days, almost everybody has a Fidget Spinner, just for fun. You could probably also use them for a Physics experiment to see how fast it can spin.
MY INVENTION:
One day, I had my cellphone setting on a table and a Fidget Spinner setting right next to it. I thought, "OMG!" That gives me an idea! I am going to be a Millionaire in less than a week!"
I was really excited. Because, I had just invented the: "FIDGETPHONE"!
I was going to combine the cellphone and Fidget Spinner together!
Unfortunately, it didn't turn out that way! Because, I was all ready to draw my plans out on paper, then buy a cellphone, drill a hole in it and put a spinner in the hole, just for the concept. Then, I'd have to make a cellphone the same size as a Fidget Spinner.
Then I was going to take it into the nearest Patent office and file a Patent under my name for the Fidgetphone.
(Actually to file a Patent on something, you don't have to make the item that you want to patent. All you have to do is draw your plans for your invention on paper and take it to the Patent office. You can probably even file a Patent online.)
But, just before I drew it out on paper, I Googled "Fidgetphone" to see if someone else had already invented it. Then, I wouldn't even waste my time and money filing the Patent.
You can imagine how disappointed I was to find out that some jackass over in China had already invented what he calls the:
"Fidget spinners/cellphone"! I was so p***** off, I almost had to use my Fidget Spinner to calm down! LOL. That ruined another idea I had for an invention!
Another idea I had for an invention was a "Cellphone/stun gun". But, that had already been invented as well.
Anyway, I figured, "I might as well buy one, just because of the fact that I did invent it."
So I got a Fidget Spinner/Cellphone and a cellphone stun gun on EBay. The phone actually works on the Fidget Spinner phone, but not on the stun gun.

Heart Attack Grill. Las Vegas.
This place is terrible! A restaurant owned by a real Doctor. He used to be a nutritionist. How Ironic!
He is now doing just the opposite of what he was taught to do in Med school. This is the least nutritious food you can imagine. For example: A Triple Bypass Burger. Three huge burgers, cooked in Lard, not veritable oil or other things like normal restaurants or people at home, Lard! The bun is also smeared with lard.
They also have, what they called a Quadruple Bypass Burger. Four burgers, one pound of beef. Four slices of cheese, lard on the bun, burgers cooked in lard. Plus, anything else you want on the burger.
Even worse, there is an Octuple Bypass Burger. Eight burgers, 8 slices of chese, plus Lard. Good luck trying to eat that! This one has 20,000 calories! For most people, We are supposed to stick to a 2,000 cal diet. That's 10 times the amount of recommend cal intake!
If you ate the Octuple Bypass, you'd either gain a bunch of weight, get sick, have a Myocardial infarction (med term for Heart Attack) for real or have really high cholesterol levels for the rest of your life.
All you can eat "Flat Line Fries". Those are also cooked in pure lard. They go through over 300 Lbs of fries a week.
If you weigh over 350 Lbs, you eat free.
They sometimes have people weigh in and out. Sometimes even check people's vital signs (Heart rate, breathing, pulse, etc.).
If you finish the entire meal, one of the Nurses (Waitresses) will wheel you out to your car in a wheelchair. If you don't finish everything, one of the Nurses will get a large paddle and whip your butt!
This whole restaurant goes against the oath the owner took when he got his medical license. It's called: The Hippocratic Oath. Although it doesn't say these words specifically in the oath, it's implied and Doctors and other medical personnel have to learn the Latin phrase: Primum non nocere, which in English means: "FIRST DO NO HARM".
