Sports superstitions are stupid.

[Brian37]

When I was a kid in Boston my Dad took me to a Red Sox game. On the street outside the left outfield wall an office building had numerous windows busted out. My Dad said that the windows were broken out by home run hits. If the home run was by the visiting team the business fixed the window. If the homer was by the Sox they left the window broken until the end of the season. Supposed to bring good luck to the business.

Humans are stupid. I should say, our species flawed perceptions lead us to very bad conclusions and needless anxiety.
