I do the magpie thing. Sometimes one stalks me.
I tap the teaspoons twice against the tea, and the toothbrush twice against the taps but I think that might be my OCD.
There is medication for that. It's called heroin.Quote:

He dabbles with humour sometimes. Doesn't usually last long tho'.
Put it an e on the end of heroin(e) to make it more palatable then. Heroine just might get rid of your tap habit.Quote:

I always have to eat an even number of green (white?) grapes (and I don't mean the Bo Selecta, Mel B type either).......otherwise the world will end. :fear:
Not really a superstition, but guffing downwind is just damn good advice!
OCD, n'est pas? Are they peeled grapes?Quote:

check out this magic card-

bird thief? not likely, but i have had them(random birds) steal my bait on occasion when fishing. they stole the little pieces of bread i was using to fish for carp.
if it didn't cost 4 mana it would be an ok card, too. :/ meh.
you have bird trump cards? Which bird is the top trump? Nig daddy ostrich, emu or eagle?
none.
according to egyptian legend, the phoenix pwns supreme cuz it can die in a consuming fire and rise again from it's ashes. read:immortal
Yeah....but the dinosaur with wings, even though not a bird, would have kicked it's arse.Quote:

My Mum had several of these
Throwing salt over her shoulder (bad idea to stand behind her when she is cooking)
Grass green belongs to the fairies and should not be worn.
Putting new shoes on the table is an extremely dangerous thing to do (which was correct as it happens - almost invariably resulted in a painful clip around the ear so to this day I avoid putting new shoes on a table)
Saluting a single magpie - or desperately looking for a second one (One for sorrow, two for joy, three for a girl four for a boy etc.,). This used to not be too much of a problem but as there are so many of them these days it becomes a tad tiresome.
Punching superstitious people .... no wait - that is a new one on me :shifty:

Not heard the one about the legs and sleeping before but then some are quite culture specific.Quote:
