I once rented a house and it had black and white checked floors, and the landlord said he just liked the pattern. I was cool with that, because my favorite colors are black and white: just like all my clothes.

Found out years later that it´s a Masonic theme, and I´ve only seen two Masonic Halls...and there they were - black and white checkered floors.

I read that during the golden era of Hollywood, everyone had to have a black and white checkered floor because Rudolf Valentino wouldn´t dance on anything else. And you had to have him as guest or you were ´nobody´.

I don´t read anything into it now, it´s just a color scheme and Masons don´t have a monopoly on anything, fukem.
