If you drop a knife, a man is coming. A spoon, a child. A fork, an old woman.

8. What does it mean when your left palm itches?

Answer: money is coming your way or money will soon be lost

This superstition has many varied interpretations. In some cultures it means that you will soon receive money (as long as you don't scratch the itch) and an itch in the right palm means you will soon be paying out. In other cultures, the meaning switches between left and right.

9. What does it mean when the bottom of your feet itch?

Answer: you'll soon walk on ground new to you

10. If you pull out a gray hair superstition says this will happen to you.

Of course, this is scientifically impossible. Each hair follicle only produces one hair at a time - not three! Could you imagine the balding men pulling out hairs in the hope of tripling the number they had?
