Evil spirits were thought to lurk on the left side of one's bed. If you got out on that side of the bed, and stepped on them, they were said to get angry and essentially turn your day to crap. Or that's the best I can remember, anyway.

I wonder what it was with Romans and left. It was considered good luck to enter the dining room with the left foot first. Possibly because you kick the bad spirits out of the way. But then why is that better than stepping on them... :S

Well this explains a lot - I get out of the left side of the bed every day! Course, there's a wall on the right side. Mebbe I should re-arrange my room, I might be less grumpy in the mornings :)

Hey... I just realized I get up on the left side of the bed every day! I should be way grumpier than I am.
