Title: Superstition
Post by: Krazy Golf on September 13, 2013, 09:33:58: Today is Friday 13th (in case you didn't notice), commonly associated with a day of superstition and general bad luck.

It seems most people take it light-heartedly and see the funny side of the superstitions.

Media adaptation has portrayed terrible things to happen on this day but do you believe it to be true?

There is little scientific evidence to back these claims but odd things have happened..

Post by: Only Lilly on September 14, 2013, 14:34:51: if you spill salt you should always throw some over your shoulder, I am guessing that maybe dated back to wikka.

Out of choice I would never walk under a ladder, but its not the end of the world if I do
