Credat Iudaeus Apella...

The notes say that the Romans saw the Jews as very superstitious. That may be true, but if the Romans had met Medieval Brits, they would have changed their minds. We aren't a really superstitious people, especially now, but we have our fair share of interesting superstitions.
Here are some interesting British superstitions:

• Seeing a black cat is good luck; white cats are bad luck. (So, what does this make mine and my brother's cats: gray with white markings?)
• It is unlucky for a girl to wear a ring on her right hand before she gets her engagement ring. My mom says that one was started by cheap fathers.
• It is bad luck to cross on the stairs...especially in medieval castles with the high, narrow, and steep spiral staircases.
• Saying "white rabbit, white rabbit" on the first of the month was started in Britian, but I didn't grow up saying it or hearing my dad say it. I saw that on Wikipedia last night.

That is all.
