          I thought it was say 'Bloody Mary' five times, while standing in front of a mirror, and she would show up and try to kill you.

          Either that or remove your eyeballs.

            Open an umbrella indoors = bad luck.
            Wear golashes or rubber boots indoors and your eyesight will go bad.
            Masturbate and your palms will get hairy. (if you have lots'a sex wouldn't your pokerizer get hairy in that case?).

                I was always told never to eat fish and drink milk...it could kill you.

                And yet, we had fish every Friday at school for as long as I could remember. And guess what we had to drink?

                  if you swallow watermelon seeds, one will grow in your stomach. I didn't like watermelon as a child, so this didn't bother me.

                      Two people should never split when walking - one person walking on either side of a pole. It's bad luck

                      If the sun is shining and it's also raining then the devil is beating his wife with a frying pan.

                      Holding a wooden, unstruck match in your mouth (like a toothpick) will keep the tears away when you are cutting onions.

                      If your nose itches then you are going to have company come and visit

                        Debatable....scientists think it is all power of suggestion and whether or not your brain is wired for hypnosis. suggestion, etc. (I do believe it works for some). I know for sure this has been tried on me many times back in the college days and I never wet my bed.

                        It is similar to the "stage fright" syndrome (the inability to urinate in a public restroom with others present). I have never experienced it, but have heard about it. I have heard that running water or the sound of running water or a picture of a waterfall in front of a urinal helps with those that suffer from it...strange but true.

                          Seems like my hand in warm water while you are asleep is causing quite the controversy.

                            Here is an oldie but sure everyone has heard this.

                            If your ears are red or have a burning sensation; someone is talking about you behind your back.
