The Friday Five

1. Are you superstitious? No. Although I do avoid walking under ladders, stepping on cracks and opening umbrellas inside. But I think those are more habits left over from childhood.

2. What extremes have you heard of someone going to in the name of superstition? Mostly in terms of athletes who will wear the same pair of smelling sweat socks when they are on a winning streak.

3. Believer or not, what's your favorite superstition? My favorite is when a building will call a floor the 14th floor when it is actually the 13th.

4. Do you believe in luck? If yes, do you have a lucky number/article of clothing/ritual? Yes. Nope.

5. Do you believe in astrology? Why or why not? No. I think horoscopes and things like that use such vague language that you can make them apply to any person in any situation.
