Science and Magic
I'm a sciencey type. Fizzics specifically. I had no choice really, my brain is just wired to be rational, methodical, to employ control groups and to assume a spherical cow in a vacuum at STP.

I'll laugh at anyone, to their face, who reads horoscopes, sees ghosts, says they can feel the emotions of their sibling, has a lucky mascot, has a system for gambling, throws salt over a shoulder, will not open an umbrella indoors et cetera.

Yet, I know, not just know, but _believe_ deep in my heart,that some individuals are "lucky", cats can see things we can't and are good judges of character, some people can affect (break) electronic devices just by being present, in Sod's law, and if I attach my St Christopher key ring to car keys there will be an accident.

Same with me.
I'll giggle at people's ridiculous superstitions, despite having my own. My grandad has crashed every green car he has owned (that's a lot of green cars), and now I refuse to buy one.

"in a vacuum at Standard Temperature and...pressure"
is there anything off with that sentence? :P

St Christopher is supposed to have the opposite effect.
