but in all honesty, I could do with a few extra hairs on my face, and if this is true ill slap my dad around for not telling me to shave earlier.

I remember being told not to blow on my skin with a bicycle pump...that it would give me warts!!

I heard that too!:D I also heard it was bad for pregnant women to hold their arms above their heads in case the cord wrapped around the baby's neck...and that it was bad to go near a corpse or to stand in a graveyard.

I heard the spooky ones too.. like that if you hear three knocks at the door and there was no one there that someone in the house was about to die :eek: and if a picture of a person fell off a wall for no apparent reason that they were on their way out too.

...When I was a kid my mum told me that if I swallowed chewing gum it would make my insides stick together. When I finally swallowed some by mistake I thought I was going to die. Needless to say twenty odd years later I'm still alive to tell the tale.

Ya sure? Maybe we just see dead people! :eek:
