    Superstitions/ myths are known globally. Some cultures share the same while some differ. In Jamaica where I am from, it is believed that: If you point at a cemetry, you must bite all ten fingers. If you fail to do so, the ghosts will hurt or kill you. Also, if you are a female and a lizard jumps on you, you are definitely pregnant. What are some of yours?

    I am from Nigeria in Africa from the Igbo tribe and in my culture when a Vulture lands on the roof of your house you have to appease the gods. You have to sacrifice a chicken or a goat in the shrine of a god called Ojukwu. The priest at the shrine has to determine whether you have to sacrifice a goat or a chicken and sometimes you have to pay the priest money too. I also heard that Arabs don't like people whispering in the hot sun in the desert.

    Hi from Malaysia! Boy, have I got plenty of those. Let's see, my most favorite one is a maiden must never sing in the kitchen or she'll marry an old widower. She should also never sit at a threshold or her wedding would be left halfway (the equivalent of leaving her at the altar). Children must never play hide and seek from dusk onwards or there will be a ghost with (I kid you, not) giant breasts that would hide them under her breasts and they will never be found forever. Haha.

    What else? We mustn't clip our nails at night or the stray nails would blind a spirit's eye and it will haunt you forever. Never move from your eating spot or you'll marry more than once. (Meaning your marriages won't last)

    P/s Shana Kay, if it takes a lizard to jump on me to tell me I'm pregnant, I think I would be on birth control forever! haha
