I asked for weird superstitions. Who doesn't have a clit necklace? [/ QUOTE ] It's the only way to get any street cred these days. |

On Okinawa (maybe mainland Japan too) it's bad luck to leave chopsticks stuck in a bowl of rice. [/ QUOTE ] this is true in many asian countries - it signifies death |

My first week on Oki, i went with some friends to one of their girlfriend's house. She cooked for us all. Someone left the chopsticks sticking out of his rice and she absolutely flipped out. I mean she went crazy. |

My favorite was from a guy from Hong Kong who didn't respond to my feminine charms [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] --
In Chinese tradition, saying someone is wearing a "green hat" means they're a cuckold. And that there's nothing funnier to him on St Patricks Day seeing seas of green plastic hats atop drunken (pseudo-)Irish celebrating the day. Sh, it's a secret tho [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] |

I learned at lunch today from my Indian friend (slurpee Indian, not casino Indian) that according to Indian tradition, if you pass salt hand-to-hand to one another, it means you'll get in a fight with that person. So you have to put the salt down, then the other guy picks it up. What other bizarre superstitions are there for various cultures? [/ QUOTE ] Ive been an indian my entire life and never heard of this.. Although my freshman year in college in the USA..i did get asked "do the elephants just poop on the side of the road in india??" |

a rice bowl with chopsticks sticking out of them is one of the traditional items at a japanese funeral (food for the journey, etc). As i was raised, it's not so much bad luck as extremely rude.
