I've done this before, but I haven't done it for a while, so to celebrate Friday the 13th, here are some strange (and totally fabricated) superstitions from around the world:
In Liberia, it is considered unlucky to cut the nail on your big toe. Special shoes are made to allow for the life-long growth.
In the Tossoko region of southern Japan, it is unlucky to poo on a Thursday.
In Nottingham, giving a ginger child the middle names 'Elon Musk' is said to guarantee his virility.
In Lima, Peru, it is unlucky if you fry tomatoes while whistling.
In Western Australia, anyone over the height of 6ft 5in has to walk into a cinema backwards or risk six months misfortune.
In Poland, it is seen as a sign of bad luck if you sneeze while kissing a waitress.
In Quebec, Canada, tying up your left shoelace before your right is said to bring a curse upon your entire family 'for three generations hence.'
In Manila, in the Philippines, it is bad luck to say the word 'kumquat' while naked.
In Namibia, they think its unlucky to walk under a female camel while she's yodelling.
