There definitely have been some posts here that are a little distasteful, and this was not my attempt at all. This all comes from my curiousities of the cultural discrepencies that exist.

Such as: I just found out that Korea teaches its students there are only 6 continents and Antarctica is not a continent. Interesting. What other counties do this?

My mum believes one Magpie represents bad luck, and two for good luck. I don't know if this is a widespread belief in England or not. Either way, without fail when she sees a single Magpie she will practically quote the same line everytime and use the same intonation to say "Oh no! A single magpie, it means bad luck!" - For me, I used to believe in a few things, but now I've started going against them. Now I try to shoot Magpies if I see them*, I intentionally cross paths with Black Cats, etc.

* Well not literally

One thing I DONT do is walk under ladders.. Not because of the superstition that it's bad luck, but because I don't want it falling on my head.
