Rod, today is a day that will be remembered forever in the US. It is unique that it is happening on Friday the 13TH.
Feb 13, 2009 12:05:37
LOL! Well, I didn't mean this to be a political thread, but you have my blessings to take it wherever you want. I'm not superstitious, and didn't have anything to say about superstitions when I posted or I would have said it!

I'm out of here. This Mickey Mouse is nothing but a huge waste of time! :thumbdown:

Haha. I guess we just immediately looked to the un-luckiest thing that could possibly happen to us.

Rod...I have absolutely no belief in superstitions of any type. I don't believe in UFO's or black helicopters surveiling neighborhoods. ESP is a circus stunt. Black magic and voodoo are merely manipulation of the overly impressionable.

Well, I had to walk under a ladder in my garage today to get to the recycle bin, and my black cat walked in front of my countless time today already... So, I guess not, lol

No, but sometimes I pause to think - like before walking beneath a ladder, or about Friday 13th. Every time a black cat walked in front of my grandfather he would quickly say, "Damn that cat, damn that cat, damn that cat." According to him that broke the spell. Just to be on the safe side, I follow his lead for whenever that happens.

I go out of my way to walk under ladders, but I always look up and make sure there's nothing up there than can fall on me!
As far as black cats, I must admit that it does give me pause when they walk across my path...not that I believe in it or anything.
Happy birthday, James!

Same here, Rod! I was brought up observing a fair bit of superstitious behaviour ("touch wood" and so on), so when I finally "awoke" at 17 and started questioning things I enjoyed mocking superstitions for fun... and continue to do so to this day ;)

Last night on the eve of Friday the 13th there was a horrific plane crash just outside of Buffalo NY. 49 people were killed when the plane apparently iced up and could not be controlled for a landing. 48 on the plane and 1 in the house where it hit. The one person on the plane that I knew of was the great Jazz sax player Gerry Neiwood. Saw him many times both live and on tape and TV and admired his talent and what he could do with that instrumnet. The jazz world lost a really fine musician and we here lost a local lad who made it big.
My condolences to his family.

i never have been convinced of the supernatural etc. but if you ever see it unfold in front of you it causes second thoughts and the doubt in your own beliefs creeps in. it takes a lot of careful reasoning to get back on track

My idea about what's considered the supernatural is that nothing is supernatural, we just don't understand what's happening and how. Technologies we now understand and accept would have been considered supernatural in the past.

Here is a very brief "bio" on Mr.Niewood:
Gerry Niewood
Gerry Niewood was a childhood friend of trumpeter Chuck Mangione and had been making music with him since the two were children. He lived in Glen Ridge, N.J., and played saxophone, clarinet and flute for some of the biggest names in pop music, according to his MySpace profile.
He was flying to Buffalo for a performance with Mangione's band.
Niewood once said he learned jazz improvisation on his own.
"I listened to jazz records and mentally transcribed them. Cannonball Adderley, Sonny Stitt, Sonny Rollins, John Coltrane," he told City Newspaper, a Rochester, N.Y., weekly in 2006.
In addition to Mangione, Niewood backed artists as diverse as Peggy Lee, Simon and Garfunkel, Judy Collins, Frank Sinatra and Sinead O'Connor, among others. He also played on the soundtracks of movies including "A Bronx Tale," ''When Harry Met Sally" and "King of Comedy."

I used to be superstitious, but then found out tha tbeing so was bad luck.
By the way UFO do exist - if it's flying and we do not know what it is (at the time) it is by definition a UFO. Yes it may turn out to be a weather balloon or a flock of geese, but until so Identified it is a UFO.
I have even seen a UFO in my kitchen, but that was an unidentified Frying Object

If any of you have ever worked in or around an emergency room or for EMS, you know that it's BAD LUCK to say "The Q word".

Unidentified Frying Object....
That's what Kim Jong Ill calls them..
