How superstitious are you?

I put down 2. I will not punch old gypsy women, just in case.

Superstition, as used on the internet, typically means "whatever I personally do not happen to believe in and therefore find ridiculous." Which is basically what Imran posted. I think such a use basically renders the word meaningless, or reduces it to a high-and-mighty insult, and therefore reserve it for its more common meaning of a very simple system of beliefs about certain actions/events leading to good or bad consequences (with the exact cause of said consequences unexplained). I.E., basically what Loin posted about black cats. Sort of a folk pseudoscience.

In my daily life, I'm not superstitious. But, I do believe if an announcer says, "he hasn't thrown an interception in 3 weeks, missed a free throw, field goal, etc., that almost immediately a miss will occur.

Or, if I bet on a game, that team will lose.

ACK!

Where do ghosts fit in?

Where do ghosts fit in?

They don't seem to fit the definition Loin offered of a supernatural causality--they're more of an unverifiable belief concerning the afterlife. I suppose if you believed breaking a mirror would bring down bad juju because it irritates the ghosts, that might count as a superstition, but the general drift here seems to be idiosyncratic ideas about the consequences of our actions.

I tend to wear my Red Wings or Wolverines or Tigers stuff whenever a big game is being played, but other than that, nothing. That's probably a 1 or a 2.
