Are you superstitious?

Today is martes trece or Tuesday the 13th … the Spanish equivalent of Friday the 13th (though I’ve never been able to find out why). I always joke that it doesn’t affect me because I’m not Spanish, and Friday the 13th doesn’t either because I live in Spain. But deep inside something niggles, like a wee part of me maybe isn’t joking, you know?

So while I don’t think I’m particularly superstitious I do think twice before walking under ladders – though of course I don’t think black cats are unlucky in the slightest. Quite the opposite, but then isn’t that also being somewhat superstitious?

And so, just curious as to how many of you out there are superstitious, and also if you know of any cool and unusual superstitions other than the typical ones: broken mirrors, the number 13, black cats, etc.
