Funny superstitions
"The root of all superstition is that men observe when a thing hits, but not when it misses."
Francis Bacon (1561-1626)
It's bad luck to walk under a ladder. This came from the western folklore belief that a leaning ladder formed a triangle with the wall and ground. You must never violate the Holy belief by walking through a triangle, lest you be considered in league with the devil. Poor Turkey..."Run Turkey Run"
Beware of Friday the Thirteenth. Those who know about these things, inform us that Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden on a Friday, Noah's flood started on a Friday, and Christ was crucified on a Friday. Christians also noted that twelve witches plus one devil are present at Satanic ceremonies so Friday and 13 make a deadly combination.
Connect the dots :)

Thank you AJ:) But how much ever I tried, I am not able to allign the illustrations and captions properly :( It looks perfect in edit mode, but while publishing there are gaps.
the holy triangle thingie was not a christian food of thought.. it was eastern orthodox..
noah and the flood
and expelling of adam and eve on a friday are myths..
wanted to clarify this cos these were atheistic thoughts that were mixed with christian belief..
