The authenticity of the Shroud of Turin has been debated for centuries. 1998 carbon-dating on the bacteria on the cloth showed it was created between 1260 and 1390, making it a Medieval forgery.

Wiseman is asking people when they were born and if they think they are naturally lucky, then tabulating the results. Despite the fact that Wiseman’s research shows that people create their own luck, often without realizing it, he also thinks luck may be linked to your birth date.
