The phrase ‘getting out of the wrong side of the bed’

This really doesn't have anything to do w/ wive's tales but I found them humorous!

Don't hate yourself in the morning-sleep in til noon!
Crankiness-for me it's just as natural as morning.

And, on a related 'waking theme,' one of my all-time favs:
This morning I woke up to the unmistakable scent of pigs in a blanket. That's the price you pay for letting the relatives stay over.

Gio, thanks for the history lesson about black cats!

i used to never be a superstious person, but i am becomming one.
things i've learned: usually if a black cat crosses my path in a straight line w/o stopping or comes to let me pet it i have good luck for a month straight.
if there is a fortune i like from a fortune cookie, that comes true, don't eat another fortune cookie or the luck will change.
and i know i have one that people say is good luck, but it brings me bad. *shrugs* i forget.

as for water, alot of people do say warmer will freeze faster. i can beleive where it would be possible because of evaporation, but i still don't beleive in it. i'm a firm beleiver in cold. though, i'm sure under certain conditions...
