Bad Luck, Omens and Superstisions

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

actually that is only if you go near trees that they have their nests in. If you have a bear head and a magpie swoops you head on with its beak, it can actually crack your skull or at least cause alot of bleeding

They've never bothered me, but that's probably because I keep my eyes on them at all times. It's safer that way .

not really.. i act on instinct at times. but otherwise i don't have much superstition. as for omens, not much either. black dogs got some stuff to do with bad stuff no ? what about black cats or somthing? they just get me thinking so i avoid them.

You know, crossing paths with a black cat according to the Japanese is actually good luck.

so thats why i don't like black cats.

Well, the point I was trying to imply, was that if two superstitions contridict each other, then there's probably a good chance they both don't exist. I own a black cat, I don't get any more bad luck than I usually do. In fact, I think the whole thing about crossing paths with them being bad luck was spread in the middle ages when people believed that cats were familiars of witches i.e demons in animal bodies. So the credibility of that is even lessened.

People have it all wrong these days, instead of discriminating and hating others for being black or ugly, we should practise fairness and hate every living thing equally.

The Koreans and Japanese haven't exactly been the best of buddies in the past. Even before World War 2, Japan had made several attempts to take over the country. The Koreans repelled an invasion once using these turtle boats, a recent invention of theirs at the time and the equivalent of a water based tank (this was during the 16th century!).

Back to the bad luck issue, having a really good rain storm to water every thing, then get to work and realise one of the computers also got "watered" from a roof leak.
