Quit it Herbie.
I was seriously relating a superstition to you all.. no need to infer anything other than that.

But hey..if you want more superstitions, I have an old book full of them...   Huh

Even in my own backyard ... little white eggs stuck on the ends of long stalks to keep them safe from being eaten by ants and the like.

Daddylonglegs that vibrate so as to present a blurred image whenever danger is threatening.

I'm still an agnostic, but if one is to be honest about what one sees, then certain concessions has to be made in favour of the pro-God vote.

In stormy weather, improving condition can be predicted, if there is a patch of blue sky big enough to make a Dutchman's trousers.

Hypnotism, can that be construed as superstition. how can someone wave a fob watch in front of your face and turn you into a chicken, it has always puzzled me.


No. Hypnotism has nothing to do with superstition.

Some people cannot be hypnotised. It seems much more a physical than a spiritual act, even though the brain is directly engaged by intangible means.

"Even though the brain is directly engaged by intangible means", ok I accept that.

To find out if a person is a witch hold them under water. If they don't drown, they are a witch and should be burned at the stake.

No. Your examples relate to life and living things.

It is said that a visitor once came to the home of Nobel Prize–winning Danish physicist Niels Bohr and, having noticed a horseshoe hung above the entrance, asked incredulously if the professor believed horseshoes brought good luck.
“No,” Bohr replied, “but I am told that they bring luck even to those who do not believe in them.”



Bloody Danes!! Dont'cha just love 'em!
