Yes I have broken a mirror but I did it with my lucky horseshoe so it kind of balances out ;)

Whoops, Sorry Jonno babe, I'm a bit slow. All that alcohol from the past few days has killed major pieces of my brain :blink:

[UKMan]

i found a piece of glass with some white powder on it :blink:

As far as horseshoes are concerned, i did hear that the horseshoe must hang with two ends pointing upwards, or else or your luck will run out - do you believe that??

Also, if you have an ornament of an elephant, then its trunk must also curl up at the end - is this just old wives tales?

Peace

[JONNO_CELEBS]

You had major parts??........Maybe thats what's wrong wiv me :blink:

[Skweeky]

I thought it was the other way around with the horseshoes :blink:

I'm just glad it didn't land on your rabbit's foot :)


@ UK i thought with elephants the trunks had to point towards the door? :blink:

[UKMan]

@Skweeky & danb - well, if you didnt allready know, i dont believe all this, so maybe i'm wrong - i have been all the time before, why change now :lol:

[JONNO_CELEBS]

A horseshoe, hung above the doorway, will bring good luck to a home. In most of Europe protective horseshoes are placed in a downward facing position, but in some parts of Ireland and Britain people believe that the shoes must be turned upward or "the luck will run out."

I didnt think of it like that. I wonder how it came about then?


Perhaps they meant a foot from the Killer Rabbit in Holy Grail? :lol:


I'm pretty sure its trunks facing the door but heck who knows for sure? :rolleyes:



@ Jonno, how about the mutt's nuts? :P

AHHHHHHHHHHHH Run awayyyyyyy :lol:

I think it's like a seafaring thing, animals and women on a boat are bad luck, therefore the foot of a rabbit could be lucky or something :blink:

Fisherman make me laugh, green is very very very bad luck, but seaweed is green :blink:

You're right, that doesn't make sense at all :lol:


Something to do with getting seasick perhaps? :x

[UKMan]

They also say that women on boats bring bad luck, but why do they allways refere to ships as "she/her" and give them female names??

Peace
UKMan

[DanB]

Then could it be that they wouldn&#39;t want the ship getting jealous of another female on board? <_<

[Cheese]

I thought a naked woman on board was good luck, hence those figureheads of women that ships had ;)

[JONNO_CELEBS]

When I was a fisherman I used to wind the others up by wearing green waders, whistling all the time and carrying a plastic cow in my pocket :lol:

I found this link that tells some sailor superstitions (there are a lot) but apparently a woman on board angers the sea whilst a naked woman will calm the sea (sounds to me like the sailors were just a bunch of perves :lol: )

Sounds quite clever really.

All those men at sea for months on end - very frustrating :crazy:

another superstition for you: Friday the 13th :ph34r:

what&#39;s so scary about this?

[Rocktron]

Breaking a mirror should bring 7 years of bad luck?
Nonsens&#33;

What power in this world should create that? (or any above that..)
I&#39;m not superstitious at all.
