Do you believe in lucky charms/objects ?

[FireCat]

If so, what is/are your lucky charm/s and what feelings do you get when you carry them ?
If you don't, does it mean that you don't believe in their magic power ?

 

[Accname]

No and no.
Childish kitty.

 

[FireCat]

Why not?
And NO, Just curious!

 

[Zakyath]

I don't believe in magic, since no one since the dawn of time has stumbled upon this "magic"

 

[Darthfett]

Depends on how you define magic. My spare tire, lug wrench, and car jack are my lucky charms, because they make sure a flat tire rarely happens (you can look at this two ways: insurance against Murphy's Law, or just having a spare tire to change in the event that I do have a flat tire).

As for the more traditional idea of magic, no such thing.

Clarke's third law:

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Exception: Magnets work on something similar to magic: miracles.

You never cease to surprise me

No need to get all infuriated. As you think some people may carry good luck charms around, you have to accept that other people might be against the idea because it sounds silly.

 

[FireCat]

I didn't say anything about he should carry it or whatever. I simply asked why not.
And It doesn't even mean, I know someone who does "carry such thing or believe it"

 

[Accname]

I actually wear a lucky charm, i just dont believe in it.
It was a gift by a buddhist monk, a bracelet which is supposed to bring luck and protect from evil. Got it on a trip to south-east asia.
Its a +2 accessory.

I've never said the monks you've met "sell" the charms or anything.

New research proves that lucky charms DO actually work

They are taken to exams, job interviews and weddings in the hope they will bring good fortune. But rather than being mere superstition, lucky charms do actually work, psychologists claim.

Researchers told half the golfers on a putting green that they were playing with a lucky ball, and the rest that they were playing with a normal one.

Those with the lucky ball sank 6.4 putts out of 10, nearly two more putts on average than the others - an increase of of 35 per cent. The results have sparked huge interest among behavioural psychologists who say they put luck in a different light. The research from the University of Cologne was on just 28 students but the results are being considered significant.

But the figures will also be an encouragement for the millions who cling to a lucky shirt or ring on special occasions to bring them fortune. And even celebrities have often admitted relying on a lucky charm.
