I wasn't going to do the Friday Five this week 'cause it didn't seem very interesting. But then I realized it was Friday the 13th and thought "How could I not?". So:
1. Are you superstitious?
Only when I raced.
2. What extremes have you heard of someone going to in the name of superstition?
What can you think of? I knew guys who would always eat the same thing on race day, wear the same clothes, listen to the same music, etc. There is no limit when the stakes are high enough.
3. Believer or not, what's your favorite superstition?
It's always going to be the last place you look. But then, isn't that a self-fulfilling prophecy?
4. Do you believe in luck? If yes, do you have a lucky number/article of clothing/ritual?
See No.1. Not these days.
5. Do you believe in astrology? Why or why not?
Most days, no. But then I meet a beautiful, single, and interested woman with a complimentary sign, then, "Why, yes I do!"
