Superstitions, old wives tales , taboos, and omens.


Recommended Posts

Most people think that it is just poppycock so why do:-

 

More than 80% of high rises lack a 13th floor?

 

Many airports skip the 13th gate?

 

Airplanes have no 13th aisle?

 

Hospitals and hotels regularly have no number 13?

 

Italians omit No 13 from their national lottery?

 

 

Also, if you have 13 letters in your name you will have the devils luck!

 

 

Jack the Ripper

 

Charles Manson

 

Jeffrey Dahmer

 

Theodore Bundy

 

Albert De Salvo

 

Maggy Thatcher...:hihi::hihi::hihi::hihi:....That was mine!

I never walk under a ladder without crossing my fingers to ward off bad luck.

 

If I see a lone magpie, I salute it'

 

If I'm unlucky enough to see the new moon through glass, I turn three time widdershins and bow to her.

 

I always say 'bless you' when people sneeze.

 

And if I ever have to return indoors with seconds of exiting, I sit down and count to 13 before leaving again.

 

I never put up an umbrella indoors and NEVER EVER put new shoes on the table!

 

Is that enough for ya? :D

Most people claim to think that superstitions are poppycock but follow some of them anyway, on the principle that you can't lose. Not walking under a ladder will waste, at most, about one-quarter of a second by going round it instead; and, on the unlikely chance that the superstition is justified, it will save you a lot of bad luck.

 

 

(Incidentally, not-walking-under-ladders is one superstition that's founded on solid good sense. If someone's working at the top of a ladder, then walking under it risks having things dropped on you.)
