I can't think of a single superstition I believe in.
I don't knock on wood for good luck.
Black cats do not scare me.
I think they're beautiful.
And I think it's silly when tall buildings pretend they don't have a 13th floor and call it 14 instead.
And yet, according to the Otis elevator company, about 85% of tall buildings in the US do this.
Triskeidekophobia, that's a fear of the number 13.
In China, it's the number four that's considered unlucky.
Again, personally, I don't have a problem with any number.
I do refrain from walking under ladders, but that's just common sense.
I don't want a brick or a hammer to fall down, hit me on the head.
So the standard superstitions, they just don't move me.
For instance, I pay zero attention to my horoscope, although that is such a virgo thing to say.
What about you?
Are you superstitious?
We put this question to our listeners.
You better knock on wood or are.
You going to break a bone?
I went out to dinner and noticed that my tip rented out to $6.66, which is the devils number.
Those are typical superstitions.
