	Your Superstitions Got spare money?

I have a bad habit of being Superstitious, for example whenever going over railroad tracks I lift my feet before passing over for good luck...Or while passing a cemetery I hold my breathe so not to breath life into any evil spirits... AM I THE ONLY ONE LIKE THIS??

Do you have any superstitions or things you do for luck purposes or to counter bad luck??. Do you have lucky socks or a luck pendant or something you carry with you for luck????

I am dying to nkow if anyone else besides myself does this and if so WHAT?? and WHY???

After I saw Hitchcock's The Birds, I tread very carefully around individuals of the avian persuasion. As for real superstitions, I don't really have any. However, I try not to talk about events that are still up in the air, like my sister's violin auditions, so as not to jinx them.

Tho I'm not superstitious, I make it a point to mentally sing "Fly Me To The Moon" every morning on my way to work so I'll know I don't have to worry about the rest of the day...

I would lift my feet to avoid tripping over the rails, or worse, being electrocuted by the third (mains) rail. Or am I missing something?

When I was a kid I used to hold my breath when meeting mongoloids, to avoid getting infected by their retarded breath and becoming like them.

Today I live a pretty normal life, though.

I'm not very superstitious. I don't walk under ladders because I think it's unsafe.

However, I AM the very definition of Murphy's Law.

Studies show that those less educated(the ignorant) and more downtrodden tend to be more superstitious than those who are educated or live comfortably.

Its also interesting to note that while about 30 percent of scientists believe in God, about 94 percent of the top scientists do not believe in God. Or other superstitions for that matter.

Anyway, I don't do superstition or religion or that kind of bollocks. All a bit silly isn't it? Sometimes I go out of my way to walk under ladders and get black cats to cross my path and stuff, and slag off Christianity on Easter Sunday

Damn Christians!
