My Korean friend told me his grandmother (or perhaps aunt) said not to eat apples at night or you’ll get sick/die. He seriously would not let me eat my apple I had brought as a snack.
Wow, I learned that the number four represents the symbol of death.
The butterfly superstition also exist in Brazil haha I knew about some, but that one is new for me and really funny to think about it. Why do people say that? I mean, some of the superstitions make no sense but we can understand why people believe on them. But the butterfly one haha nonsense.
I wondered that as well haha. The butterfly one has been told to me by many students actually.
Butterflies have powdery wings sometimes no? (The ones I’ve touched did…or maybe they weren’t butterflies? What was I touching! Ok. I digress) Anyway, maybe that powdery stuff will get in your eye and cause an infection?
This powder on the wings of butterflies are scales that form the wing and help avoid predators and also to warm. Biologist detected haha I don’t think they can cause an infection or something like that. But who knows, maybe people were afraid of that for not knowing the mining or what that powered was. Better avoide the unknow.
wow, nice information Dom ^^
Thanks for sharing

Cool! In my country they say if you whistle at night the dwarves will carry you away into the forest never to be seen again.
Also it’s bad to sweep at night.
Bad to sweep at night? What is the reason for that?
Logical reason? I think it’s cause there wasn’t/isn’t much light to sweep by so you might end up sweeping away something valuable and not realise it.
I used to turn on the fan and close all the doors in my room when my mom scold me. So I could have a cool night 😉
haha nice 🙂
