Happy Halloween

So I actually found some of the information from this Associated Press/Ipsos study about superstition interesting - but once it gets into the minutia it goes way downhill.

Check out this bit of information from the Associated Press story:

"Democrats were more superstitious than Republicans over opening umbrellas indoors, while liberals were more superstitious than conservatives over four-leaf clovers, grooms seeing brides and umbrellas."

Then, of course, there's the urban-rural superstition divide among singles:

"Twenty-six percent of urban residents - twice the rate of those from rural areas - said they are superstitious, while single men were more superstitious than unmarried women, 31 percent to 17 percent."

Poor single guys, maybe they should get more of the single women to protect them.

And keep an eye out for those four-leaf clovers:

"The most admitted-to superstition, by 17 percent, was finding a four-leaf clover. Thirteen percent dread walking under a ladder or the groom seeing his bride before their wedding, while slightly smaller numbers named black cats, breaking mirrors, opening umbrellas indoors, Friday the 13th or the number 13."

They pay somebody for this?
