The custom knocking to wood started as protection from the evil spirits. Today people say it with various intentions and combinations, however it will properly work only as the aforementioned protection, that's for sure :)

I thought the idea of knocking on wood dates back to the early days of Ikea, when people would incredulously test the strength of the material by knocking it. :LOL:
Well, that's an understandable supposition for postmodern and more recent times when our precious mythic past is almost completely forgotten :)
