That's what she seems to believe. She says some sort of greeting to it. I've seen lots of lone magpies and never had sorrow from it though, or joy from a pair for that matter. 
Where does the magpie stuff come from? Why is it one for sorrow, two for joy? And isn't that for sneezes too?

I have a friend who says some daft chant every time she sees a magpie.
Another funny one I know from years ago is if you drop a glove you're to only put it on if someone else picks it up for you. Now that's a nuisance if you're by myself and your glove is on the floor.... Do you risk it?

I do not walk under a ladder being used to paint, I splash paint, and expect others to do so. Is that superstitious or caution?
Travis
But actually thats a good point. Avoiding walking under a ladder because it poses a risk is one thing, quite sensible in fact. But avoiding it because you think that even if nothing bad happens under the ladder, it might prompt some other bad luck later on, that's superstition.
Some superstitions routes are more obvious - such as walking under ladders, but what about stepping on cracks in pavements, or 7 years bad luck for breaking mirrors, where do they come from?
but with celery :lol: Orgasminator

Defending an opinion or arguing a point is not attacking a person. Why is it this so often gets labeled schoolyard bullying?
Disagreeing with a point is not bullying. Others disagreeing with the same hysterically made point is still not bullying.
My thoughts are that those who cry about playground meanies should grow up a little and play like adults or step away from the forum.
Bully!
Dont you personally attack me!
Not unless its with a good stick of celery anyway

Do bigger heads have bigger brains then?
And is the size of the brain relative to the intelligence? All Dave's going to know is who has the heaviest. But the jars on the mantelpeice should look good!
I like my method better haha!

I'm not superstitious at all but I've just come back from China where superstition is very important. It's interesting that they vary so much though. For example while I was there my Chinese friend opened an umbrella indoors. I laughed and told her that in England that would be considered very unlucky and rarely done. She's very superstitious by my standards but thought that was really bizarre. I couldn't tell her why it was considered so as I don't know where that one comes from. She also told me that in China you would never give an umbrella as a present. That would be very unlucky.
There are so many there that if you believe in them (as many Chinese do) it can become difficult and start interfering with doing things. Not walking under a ladder is one thing but not moving house until there's a 8 in the date and only being able to do it on a weekend because of work starts making life more complicated that it should be.

i'd like them to issue video cameras to be fitted to our cars and then we can send them footage of bad car drivers breaking the highway code. bad parking, bad overtaking,going through traffic lights on red etc etc, oh and if we fined everyone who's number plates are illegal,i'm sure we'ed be half way out of the huge debt the countries in.
So who would all these endless hours of peoples own footage of what they considered to be bad driving be sent to? Who would process itand filter out the nonesense or the stuff that could never be used? Who would pay for all this to be implimented? Im sure it would cost far more than it could ever hope to generate.
The problem with this is that it relies on the public policing driving which we're just not qualified to do. Even cameras dont tell the whole story.
It could be a new business (thus taking people off the dole), with sufficient training to determine whats deemed as unlawful driving offences,
With the amount of offenders it would be self financing,(making a profit.
Also the fines should take into consideration the cost it takes to bring these people to justice.
The instances i stated would be seen on a video camera as proof of the offence.
I hate to labour the point here but taking people off the dole and paying them with what? How much do you think it costs to train people to that level?
What you're talking about is creating a whole new scheme whereby ordinary dole people (who might prefer to work in their chosen trade but who obviously cant do that so must be put to work elsewhere) are trained as police AND magistrates to judge a stack of badly shot footage from moving vehicles (not trained on the offence as police car videos may be) and fine people accordingly.
And this footage itself is far from conclusive. As I've already said, cameras rarely show the full story of what happened and where there is ANY doubt it would be rejected as not enough evidence. The amount of actual offences that would be upheld and fined from this i beleive would be miniscule. Far far less than would be needed to even get this sort of thing off the ground. And isnt't this what we have traffic police for in the first place?
Not to mention the concern with a scheme whos funding depends entirely on conviction results. Isnt that called performance related pay? And then the hours of court time taken up with people challenging the fines and not paying.
Try taking a video camera to a junction, fliming for a while then taking your footage to the police when you have what you would deem a few good offences and see what they make of it.
Leave the armchair magistrates to judge what they're qualified to judge, Jeremy Kyle guests.

Here's a simple way of measuring it.
Devise a test comrising of say 1000 questions, some academic, some general knowlege, some common sense and some problem solving. A good equal mix.
Then put a few people into separate sealed glass boxes with so much water and limited air. Then ask them all the questions. If they get it right nothing happens, get it wrong, they get more water.
Then you can measure their intelligence by who dies fastest! :thumbup:
Obviously the question master is the most intelligent cos she aint in a glass box...

Dang it, you've all come and sat in the grumpy pant camp with me and this most likely should have been one of those nice warm threads, now I've just tarnished it with gloom. Eeeeps! :uhoh: Sorry Vamps.
So by way of lightening the mood...
If they're doing a birthday legend tribute thing, who else do you think they should tribute, why and at what age?
I noticed google did a tribute to the 150th birthday of Mary Shelly and something to do with Einstein too, but can't remember what that was.
How about the anniversary of the Rubiks Cube, that would be good and they could make the little google "oo"s into interactive mini solvable Rubiks' Cubes to torment with during a very dull day.
Or commemorate the Concorde being decommissioned with the google logo enabled so you could fold it into a paper aeroplane and fire it around your web browser page.LG. x
Nahhh, dont be daft. There's no gloom here.
I posted the thread cos i saw it on Google (otherwise I would never have known) and it was such a surprise that he would be all the way to 70 by now thats all. I mean where did that time go? Im not a massive Lennon fan, my parents where though. I always prefered the Stones. You definitely could be onto something here! *Goes off to make a paper plane.* :thumbup:
Orgasminator
So today would be John Lennons 70th birthday. It's hard to imagine (no pun intended) him being 70 as he will forever remain 40.
When I heard about his murder it was the first time in my life that I had a 'remember where you were when you heard....' moments.
So happy birthday to a legend.

A blow job would be my favoured choice but alas I'm single and live alone.
So therefore I make a smoothie every morning. Frozen banana, frozen mango and either frozen cherries or blueberries. Soya yoghurt, some water and protein powder!
:mrgreen:
I eat it when I get to work though... can't eat first thing. I walk to work and have an appetite by the time I get there.
DG, the more you say the more I like you!
