the clue is in lead post post Davy "What do you do and why do you do it ?"

 

Errm, you conveniently missed out the word "Superstitions" at the start of that sentence though. Remind me again - what was your Universal Theory of Everything? Or is that only accessible to The Initiated? :rolleyes::D

as in columbia......cool.
I've been to Santa Marta in Columbia, not cool, easy place to become a corpse in.

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.

Isn't genuflecting a superstition??? Fear of the unknown and all that carp...er...crap
Not sure Bob one or two superstitions have a trace of logic in them. Not walking under a ladder if you van avoid it seems like common sense to me for example.

There was a famous French stand-up comic called Coluche who said "Je ne suis pas superstitieux.Ca porte malheur" which means "I am not superstitious, That brings bad luck".

 

I've put a link to his Wikipedia entry above. He made many memorable quotations.

 

"Yuri Gagarin was extremely unlucky: after orbiting earth 17 times, he fell back down in the USSR!"

"The speed of light is faster than the speed of sound, which is why sometimes people look bright until they start talking."

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.

I don't have a good day unless I wear my lucky knickers...

 

Talking about sailing boats, I could probably use mine to saill the Atlantic! No tattoo's though. That's too drastic, even for me!
