no shit, cutting your tongue on a knife makes you quite angry.


*facepalm*

Excuse me, saying weird superstitions that you know of doesn't mean that you believe in them
And i did mention at the begining that my mother (not me) is superstitious

I was actually making fun of your spelling, the logic behind the superstition, and the absurdity of the superstition, in that order. I wasn't saying you believed in them.

When you blankly stare into something just don't because you'll fight with someone
Don't wear your clothes inside out because someone will be mad at you
Don't lick a knife or you'll be an angry person...
Bells shoo devils away
... Hmm... What else?

I can't remember... When i will, i'll post again

If I'm putting baba ganoush on something I'll lick the knife afterwards ^_^ so I've debunked that one already!

I've heard the bell one before, apparently its super effective if its made of silver.

I usually lick the knife if i put melted cheese on something, so mom always yells "don't lick the knife!!"
Mom does also believe in the black cats thing, number 13 (especially when it's friday)...

When my grandfather died, she covered all the mirrors saying that the spirit stays in the house for sometime, and if the spirit sees itself in a mirror, it'll freak out or something, then the kept a glass of vodka with a piece of bread over it ...
It was really weird...

I heard about the mirrors thing too, a friend of mine who's mum is Jewish covers up the mirrors in the house when someone dies.

My mom's catholic, if she loses something she'll pray to St. Anthony until she finds it ^_^

Where the hell do people get these superstitions from?

Sometimes I wonder if there were a bunch of people who sat in a room and where like: "Ideas anyone?" "OOH! How about we make 13 unlucky!".

Would make more sense than people who just all of a sudden believe these things..

For the number thirteen: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triskaidekaphobia

Different superstitions have different origins. In China and Japan the number four means death. I never got a good explanation for that except that they just happen to have the same letter for four and death.

There are these two posts randomly in a path near my school people walk through to get to a variety store. The superstition is something lame like if you walk through the posts you'll have bad sex / no sex for some amount of years. I dunno how it got started. It's ridiculous, but everyone's walked around the posts since elementary school, and everyone still does.

I have one at my school. If someone lights your cigarette for you, then you owe them seven years of great sex. Also, if you're at a party & you have sex on someone's couch, you are required to buy that person two CDs.

I guess that burn the cat when they jump on the coffin is much better than find it and burn it 3 days later while running away from a godlike zombie.


ps. That was so cruel, Poor cat.

I've heard a European version of that, how it goes is if a black cat jumps over a still open grave they'll become a vampire. But no mindless unstoppable zombie, no cat bonding and so thankfully no cat killing.

On my campus there is a design where two walkways cross and at the center of the design there is a circle, supposedly if you step in the circle you will fail out (there is also an alternative story that you just wont graduate from CNU, which makes sense as a lot of people used to transfer out back when the school was less prestigious than it is now)

"Every Thursday Brandi wears an evening gown to class"

Anybody ever heard of this?



It's a short story based on my school 'native' legend

In the math test on Thursday, Brandi got in late and said that she have a fashion emergency ... She wear an evening gown.

And may times after that she always wera these kind of gown and coat.

Everytime she wear it, She turned into some kind of math genius and never ever got her grade lower than B+

Until the last day of the test there were a test about probability(spell?)
All the whole grade wear suits,tuxedos and gowns to class

Brandi got in late while all student were busy checking thier neat clothes.

She said sorry that she have a fashion emergency again.

But...!!! She wear a ski clothe,thick boots and pointy hat!!!









Brandi is the only one passed the math test. Everyone else didn't study and busy finding gown and tuxedo.

That's kind of awesome. Although I end up lighting everyone's smoke coz for some reason I'm the only one who ever has a lighter and I don't want it stolen. ..that's a lot of sex.

The number rules his life.

Like you said, so many things add up to 12 for you, same in the movie.

[Deadmanwalking_05]

The number doesn't rule my life but it does strike me as kind of odd at times.

In my old school you would get a trip for either, you can get in trouble for smoking, and you can get in trouble for having a lighter. Though plenty of students have brought lighters into school anyways, I remember one guy who had a backpack full of them. I remember when I was in elementary school you could find marks left on the back of seats by students who put the lighter directly on the seat.

Oh yeah, another one I've heard is if your nose is itching, someone's thinking about you.

[Deadmanwalking_05]

And a common saying around my way is that if your ears are burning (warm sensation) someone is talking about you.

If you have a sudden chill down your spine, someone just walked over your grave.
