Quote from amaranthine

Another one: when you accidentally bit your tongue, that means someone's saying nasty things about you.

Ah, another version of that is "If you sneeze three times in a row, someone's saying nasty things about you or someone hates you"

No, a sneeze means they're thinking about you in a nice way! 🤣 I guess it's depends on your timezone?

Quote from skittles

oh sorry... it's graphite. Something that mechanical pencils use...?

In Chinese, it was pencil "sum" LOL. I thought it meant lead (because it's called lead pencil!)

"sum is core". "yun" is lead. Yun sum = pencil lead.

Pencil lead is is made of graphite. I have no idea why it's called lead. I guess it used to be made of lead?

And yes you can still see it under the skin but it's a bit more faint now.

And now a superstition.

For some reason cats jumping over corpses is believed to turn them into vampires.
My grandma told me a cat jumped over her dead uncles corpse and he got up and walked off in a straight line until it hugged onto a street pole then fell back down.

My grandma said it's probably static or something. Thats her trying to sound "scientific." "Cats have a lot of static charges, when they jump over a corpse they charge them up and they walk in a straight line non-stop until they hit a lighting pole or any other pole which grounds the electricity ."

Yeah Oh-kkkkay.... whatever.

There's a chinese saying that says that is you wear a green hat your wife/husband will cheat on you.

Somehow this got me really sad.

Scy's getting scared 🤣 I love those things, I've seen them in some movie once and they're funny.

Another one: if the wife is pregnant, she should step over her sleeping husband so he'll get the pregnancy pains (like vomiting and stuff) and she'll have an easy time with her pregnancy.

oh, ouch! D:
I heard from my mom that you shouldn't cut your hair during your birthday, if you're pregnant, and during the new years. It's bad luck.

Here's a Japanese one they used to use to predict the weather. You kick of you shoe and if it lands facing up the weather will be sunny, face down rainy.

You'll die from some lung disease if you smoke too much? 😐

Hm, there's something that my friend used to do... about keeping the last stick from the pack. I forgot 🤣 sorry, I'll ask him and come back!

Keep it so that you wouldn't smoke it and die from lung cancer.
