Darlene_Ihnfsa Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Do you have any? which one? you have a reason for it or you can't explain it yourself? what's the most common one in your country? I don't have the usual superstitions, just those two: *I dislike any number that is multiple of number 3 (3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18...). I can't explain it myself why, i've never heard that anybody have the same. and to me any date that is like that: 5/5/5 or 24/2/2004 is a day to be cautelous, as i find it have some kind of "magic" in it, both good or bad. about the first one: I talked about it to my dad today... :thinking: i told him my reason would be cause: 666 is meant to be the number of the beast, and i kinda don't like it, so as is number 6 (multiple of 3) is repeated 3 times, so i ended disliking it. my dad said something about kabala and number meanings... he says he thinks: number 3: represents perfection, and family. number 6: primary humanity number 9: humanity evolved. :thinking: but i don't have the most common superstitions in my country which are: *fear to wear anything yellow *don't walk near a stair *don't walk if there's a black cat near *you'll be in disgrace for 7 years if you broke a mirror.

noonsun Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Only Superstition is indeed vary good. I don't beleive in any sort of belief in the supernatural or anything, but I do have this weird mild OCD where I compulisvely straighten things so they're parallel to each other and stuff. But that's not a superstition. Like, at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darlene_Ihnfsa Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 uh double post when quoting 13, surely is a devilish number :lol: anyways why do you say is a devilish number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UH OH :stunned: Idk, I just felt like making fun of religion. I really donno if it's devililsh or not. I don't really think it is. The number of the beast was s'posed to be 668 or something anyway; it was just a clerical error, somebody miscopied it. Hey, I made a pun by accident! Cuz, like, it was a clerical error.... made by clerics. Get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noonsun Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 You never heard it because the clerical error happened at least a thousand years ago. Actually I only heard that on the History channel but I still think it's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noonsun Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 what clerical error are you refering to/talking about? :thinking: Originally the year the world was supposed to end was 668 or something, but the monk the person was dictating this to wrote down the wrong number and wrote 666 instead; or so the story goes. :nice: edit: Ah wait, no, it was originally 616, I believe; my bad.
