		Is not an instrument of witchcraftIt is not a hex upon the enemy.
		Many have told me that THE TERRIBLE TOWEL brought them good fortune, but I can't guarantee that sort of thing because the Steelers, after all, are THE TOWEL'S primary concern.
		Still, at the least, the symbol of THE TERRIBLE TOWEL will serve as a memento of your having been part of the Steelers' Dynasty and if it causes good things to happen to you, so much the better.

	History of The Terrible Towel
		Later, when the Terrible Towel advanced for final approval to Franklin C. Snyder, vice president and general manager of the Hearst Broadcasting System, he ordered only one change: "We must have fl towels too," he said gravely.
		A department store chain that offered Terrible Towels at $6.50 each, with a charity earmarked as the beneficiary, had run out of them in four hours; it then ordered another shipment and had run out in two hours.
		They showed up in the Orange Bowl at least 20,000 strong, flying their Terrible Towels, and at game time, the towel gave a sign to the nation that it was ready.

	Sales of towels to Steeler fans hardly terrible - The Boston Globe
		Some insist the bright yellow towel, ubiquitous at games, spurs the team to victory -- just as it did in the 1970s when a Pittsburgh wide receiver wiped his hands on the sacred towel, then made a spectacular one-handed catch to help the team advance in the playoffs.
		Daily, he appeared on the radio and television, intoning soberly, ''The Terrible Towel is poised to strike!" The Steelers went on to win the Super Bowl, and a tradition was born.
		Terrible Towels cost about $7 and are sold by the team.

	Towel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A towel is a piece of absorbent fabric or paper used for drying or wiping.
		A perforated roll of paper towels is normally mounted on a rod a little longer than the width of the roll, or in an alternative type of hanger that has indentations on ears, the indentations fitting into the ends of the paper towel roll.
		For example, the towel can be used as an extra layer of clothing for cold conditions; or can be worn on its own around the waist (similarly to a kilt or skirt) or just under the shoulders (similarly to a long dress), usually in a warm environment.

		The yellow, dishrag-sized towel with a stenciled-on Terrible Towel logo is a Pittsburgh icon, alongside Primanti Brothers and the "Yinzers." Unsurprisingly, outsiders and non-football fans often scratch their heads.
		The story of the Towel stretches back to the pre-disco 1970s, a time when the influence of sports promoters like baseball's Bill Veeck ensured that, for better or worse, pro games could have a cornball element.
		Starting in 1996, all sales from the Terrible Towel were given to the Allegheny Valley School, a Pittsburgh-area school for the mentally challenged.

	Boston Globe Online: Print it!
		Without trademark protection, someone else's knock-off Terrible Towel might be confused with Cope's, and people could think they were getting Terrible Towel quality when in fact the pretender might be inferior.
		Exactly what this means when a Terrible Towel's quality merely depends on it being yellow and labeled Terrible is not entirely clear - no one actually dries off with these things - but even nonlawyers can see some fairness in the claim that what Myron Cope invents, Myron Cope should be able to profit from.
		Let the Byzantine rules of copyright be curiosities, like the Terrible Towel - rather than an imposition of impenetrable and arbitrary do's and don'ts that increasingly shackle and alienate an otherwise sympathetic public.
