Hals und Beinbruch we say when we wish someone/ourselves good luck on something, usually. There also exist other similar expressions, e.g. he pulls out his leg (when he/she does something really motivated and concentrated)..... There are some others to go.

I had heard that the phrase, 'Break a Leg..." had developed from the success of one's performance in that when a crowd was not pleased it threw tomatoes, but when they really loved it, they gave you flowers. In response the performer would bend down to accept the roses, hence the phrase 'break' (to bend one's leg) a leg... I this not accurate?

Traditionally, (and for a reason unknown to me) we celebrate a giant rabbit that hides eggs and goodies for little children. I was wondering if you could find the origin of the Easter Bunny in honor of the upcoming holiday. Also, could you find the link that ties this massive egg hiding rabbit to the resurection of Jesus Christ? I'm really curious to find out where we got this odd tradition.
