WOW, I never knew the origin of not walking under ladders. I think I tend to avoid them cause of safety...what if the person on it dropped a bucket of paint on my head (while Ann might think that was ok...what if it hurt my friend, too?) (j/k, Ann)

As to the penny, I pick them up! I heard, ACGAS, that only 'heads up' are lucky...the saying goes, "find a penny pick it up and all that day you'll have good luck" But, I pick them all up. (Funny story, at the gym, guys change always falls out of their pockets when they lay on the bench. I wait until no one is looking, and go pick it up! I like money, he he).

Black cats? No way, sign of luck for me, always.

What about breaking a mirror??
