  |  Are You Superstitious? A supertition can be defined as :a belief in something not justified by reason or evidence Do you believe Friday the 13th to be unlucky? Do you cross you fingers or "knock on wood"? Is it all nonsense? |

| Re: Are You Superstitious? Am I superstitious? No. I've never had a single bad thing happen to me on a Friday the 13th - which counts out my belief of the superstition. |

| Re: Are You Superstitious? I'm not with silly things like friday the 13th, but I won't step under a ladder due to common sense! I Like black cats ( an other colors too). The only weird thing I have are funeral processions, maybe it just suggests a bad mood, but if you are going to take a test, and that's what you see on your way ... ayayayay ! |

| Re: Are You Superstitious? I'm not superstitious when it comes to friday the 13th. I believe friday to be a very lucky day of the week. I do knock on wood often, although im not sure when i picked up that habit or why and of course, I will not step under a ladder! |

| Re: Are You Superstitious? na, i believe a large amount of superstition can be attributed to random reinforcement. this provides part of the explanation for compulsive gamblers or why certain religions around the world believe in sacrificing symbolic material goods to appease the gods. |
