Knock on wood.

My bellybutton itches. Does that mean someone is talking about me? Or maybe I need a shower. :)

But it DID make me think about those superstitions. Found a doozy of a list:

• If your ears are burning, someone is talking about you.
• If you break a mirror, seven years of bad luck will follow. (done it. not sure this one is true.)
• If you drop a fork, a man will come to visit you. (done it. FAIL)
• If a bird flies into your house a death will occur. (true. probably my OWN death. eeks.)
• If you peel an apple without breaking the peel i.e. cut around the apple so that the peel is in one long piece, you should throw the peel to the ground and if it lands in the shape of a letter of the alphabet then it is the initial of the person you will marry. (WHAT?! buying an apple TODAY.)
• When you peel an apple say the alphabet and the letter that you are on when the peel breaks is the initial of the person that you will marry. (tried this many a time in third grade. jury's still out.)
• When your palm itches, you will come into some money. (false.) 
• Two deaths in the community will be followed by a third. (seemingly true - see celebrity deaths)
• Never say "thank you" when someone gives you a plant or it will die. (never had to try this - no one gives me plants. or flowers. humph.)
• If you spilled some salt, you picked some of it up and threw it over your left shoulder to stop bad luck from coming. (i do this one.)
• You never walked under a ladder or bad luck would come to you. (i try to avoid ladders at all costs)
• Hold your breath when driving past a graveyard. (i do this one too)
