The Friday Five: 02/13/04
Friday, February 13, 2004
Haven't done one of these in a while.
- Are you superstitious?
No. - What extremes have you heard of someone going to in the name of superstition?
In sports, like when baseball players will wear only a single pair of socks, unwashed, during a winning streak as a way to ensure the streak continues unbroken. I don't know anyone personally who's superstitious enough to go to extremes. - Believer or not, what's your favorite superstition?
The ladders and cats superstitions. I think all-black cats are the best. I hate ladders, but not for fear of walking under them; I hate 'em because I've fallen off them before. - Do you believe in luck? If yes, do you have a lucky number/article of clothing/ritual?
I do believe in luck but I don't have any talismans or rituals to ensure it in my own life. - Do you believe in astrology? Why or why not?
Astrology is an amusing parlor game, and its practitioners can be very astute amateur psychologists, nothing more.
