=====================
Hi Member's,
Are you Superstious ?
Are you afraid to go `out 2day ?

===============






Friday the 13th, 'the most widespread superstition'
The sixth day of the week and the number 13 both have foreboding reputations said to date from ancient times. It seems their inevitable conjunction from one to three times a year (there will be three such occurrences in 2012, exactly 13 weeks apart) portends more misfortune than some credulous minds can bear. According to some sources it's the most widespread superstition in the United States today. Some people refuse to go to work on Friday the 13th; some won't eat in restaurants; many wouldn't think of setting a wedding on the date. Or drive their Monte Carlo's

Post & let us know what you are
afraid of ?
What are your Superstitions ?
* I'm afraid of alien beings

I absolutely don't believe in things like that.

However, I do often joke around and attribute bad driving habits to the day, or the fullness of the moon :p

Not superstitious. But just this morning I nearly had the whole left side of my Monte side swiped on the highway by someone who wasn't paying attention
