Are you superstitious?

The last blog entry was about the origins of Friday / Tuesday the 13th. Many people are superstitious about those days and a number of other things including black cats, broken mirrors and walking under ladders. Are you a superstitous person? Do you touch wood and cross your fingers? Do you run the other way when a black cat is crossing the road? Do you panic when you see somebody opening an umbrella inside? Do you often find yourself searching the garden for four-leaf clovers?
