*superstitions* - I'll share one of mine.
   yeah i have a bit of that 'magic word' thing; if you say it, you
   might believe it and if you believe it, you might end up
   subconsciously doing things to make it come true.
   I have _no idea_ if that's fact or fiction, science or
   superstition... so I just try to avoid saying things I don't
   want to happen, generally.
