Yes. And sometimes it was because the Angel of Death had just passed overhead... Now that I revisit the thought, I have difficulty figgering why/how these superstitions arise or persist, when they're so specific.
Because, Wofahaulic, as every fiction writer worth his fiction knows, specificity is the mother of the suspention of disbelief.

The only reference 4:20 stirred up for me was the idea that when you're with a large number of people, and all goes silent, it must be 20 past the hour. Anyone heard of that?

Wofa, in French Québec, the expression is that an angel has just passed overhead (the type that is thought to be good), not the angel of death. And it is supposed to be a good thing.
